Editing Outlook/Exchange Contact Card

Hello,

I am trying to find a way to edit the fields that are shown in the user contact card in Outlook. User generated image
I would like to change the field Home to something like Work 2 where the full 10 digit office number of the user can be shown. The Work field is already occupied with the user's internal extension which seems to replicate from the AD account properties in the Telephone Number field under the General tab. Under the Telephones tab, I am entering the 10 digit number in the IP Phone field which is what I would like Exchange to pull from to display the number in the Outlook contact card. User generated image
I have tried making some changes in the Details Templates Editor. but that only seems to allow me to change the appearance of the Outlook address book entries and does not make any changes to the Outlook contact card for users.

I am pretty much at a beginner level when it comes to Exchange, so any help on this matter is greatly appreciated. By the way, my organization is using Exchange 2010.

Thanks,
Mike

Depending on what your long term goals are for the organization, you may want to investigate the Microsoft Business Contact Manager (BCM) which claims to allow changing the fields for contacts.  The procedure to change fields is here.

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to provide some potential solutions. Unfortunately, I have not had a chance to test these solutions in between all the other IT responsibilities that I have.

You can go ahead and close this for now since I do not want to keep anyone waiting. I will test the solutions out when I get some time and I will reopen the discussion if I have any other questions or concerns.

Thanks,
Mike
I guess this answered the question since after a waiting period there are no more responses from author.
