changing the address in Address Book
Hi
I having issue with Address Book. Everytime Entering name in Outlook it gives a different name, for example the auto complete will say Jerry Loredo <jloredo6491029> when I typed in Jerry But my correct email address should be jerry.loredo@contoso.com.
Eventhough this email add <jloredo6491029> is incorrect i can still received the email sent to it.
so I thought it's a local contact issue in Outlook but then I see nothing about that address or details. but when I check the Global Address Book in Outlook, my name is something like this
Name: Jerry Loredo
Business Phone: <blank>
Office: <blank>
Title: <blank>
Company: <blank>
Alias: JerryLoredo
Email Type: EX
Mail Address: /O=CONTOSO/OU=CONTOSO/cn=Recipient/cn=jloredo6491029
Now my question how can I change or delete this "Mail Address" so I can correct the email address when typing in Outlook? hope you can give me steps to do that.
Other steps did:
- deleted the nk2 file on profile - it didnt work
- deleted the address from auto complete - it didnt work
- created a new profile in another machine - same issue

Thanks in advance

That's your legacyExchangeDN attribute. I wouldn't change it. Have you tried deleting the nickname cache in Outlook (a file with extension .NK2)?Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems."

Hi Ed,
I did, but then it's still there after deletion. I've even created a new profile from another machine (which I think dont have any nk2 there) and it's still there once you resolved that name.
THanks.

Hi
I can see this setting using the ADSIedit.msc. Is it safe that I will change the "Recipient/CN" part to the correct name?
Thanks,
Jerry

I wouldn't do it.
Where do you see it in ADSI Edit, i.e., what attribute?Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems."
