During my companys new deployment of Exchange 2007, we have created many Distribution Lists. All of them work fine, but when using the Address Book or GAL, it seems that the only way to search for a Distribution List is by knowing EXACTLY how the Display Name begins. For example, If I created a list called Virgina Police Public Affairs, it will not show up during a Search using Police, or Public or Affairs. You have to start the search with the Exact beginnig of the Display name. Wildcards do not work at all.Any help would be greatly appreciated. Is there a setting we missed or a third party application that is needed.
