One of my Exchange customers wanted the From: field in the emails sent via Outlook and Exchange to read as 'User Name - Company Name'. That can't be hard I thought, but I should have known better!
After some research and experimentation I got a result using the following approach:
1. Select Properties for the user in Active Directory. Leave the First Name field as is, but change the Surname field to 'Surname - Company Name'.
2. In AD right click the user, select Rename and take the defaults as presented.
3. Wait a while for the change to percolate from AD to Exchange.
I can't help but feel there must be a better way to do this, so please post comments if you know.
The information is provided 'as is'. It has worked for us,
but it may not work for you, so you use it at your own risk. We can't
enter into any correspondance about anything recorded here but please feel free to leave a comment.
