Customize Global Address List view shown on Outlook's Select Names Page
I need to customize how the Global Address List appears on the Select Names page in Outlook 2003. This is the page that displays when you click the To:... button in Outlook and have Show Names from the: Global Address List selected. The list displays everyone in the GAL with collums for Name, Business Phone, Office, etc. The last collum is E-mail Address. However the values for this field for all of my users are not the simple internet address format "user@domain.com". These values take the form "/o=myexchangeorganizaton/ ou=First Administrative Group/cn=Recipients/cn=use r".
What I want is to:
1. Change the format of this e-mail address field from that non-user friendy format to the simple internet address format user@domain.com so my users can quicly see the real address without a bunch of unnecessary clicks.
2. Change the order of the collums so that email address is the 2nd collum in the list right next to username
There must be a way to do this in Exchange system Mgr or with adsiedit. I know that I can edit Exchange address templates in ESM as explained in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q152732/ but these modifications don't affect the view you get on the Select Names listing as far as I can tell.
thanks for any help.
