Can Lotus Notes 8.5.2 display Active Directory User details?

Hi All,

I am in the process of migrating 90 Outlook users onto Notes 8.5.2.

Once of the issues raised is that Outlook users access contact details by double clicking on the email address of the users.

Is there a feature similar to this in Lotus Notes?

Ideally some thing that links into Active Directory, so I dont have to manually add and maintain all the new users information,


Many thanks

You can double click on the user name in the address field, Notes will display user details from Domino Directory (name and address book). So you will need to populate directory with all details needed

Also, you can setup directory assistance on Domino server and connect it to AD, this way you will get to the AD details

Nothing happens when I double click the name in the address field in the viewing pane.  If I do it on an opened message, it creates a new message to the recipient (me).
I have 8.5.2 standard
When I receive a message I can:
move mouse over sender name and wait a bit, a small popup will come up with some user details, and down-arrow to see more details.

Is this what you are looking for?
None of that happens for me.  Are you in the user client?

Thanks for the link on importing AD data.

How do I end users access the information using the Notes Client.   e.g. telephone numbers
