asked on

change the display name for the To: field in exchange 2003

Our company uses the initials of our sub-division as the 1st name of our users so mail sent to me is to: LOS - some user instead of just the users name.

Without changing Active Directory, how can we change the display name for incomming email?

Greetings:

You wouldn't have to change the first name field in Active Directory, but could you change the display name field to fit your needs?  

What do you want the display name to appear as?

Top o' the morning. I'd prefer it if the mail that comes to my inbox said my forst and last name without the LOS - that identifies my division. Problem is that the powers that be want names in the global address list sorted by the divisions the person is at. In exchange 5.5 we just used site containers, but I don't know how to categorize users in Exchange 2003.
