SYMPTOMS

When you try to resolve a name using an exact match, name resolution may fail on firstname/lastname combination. This happens when, for example, you use the equal sign and first and last name combination:

=John Sharp

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.0. This problem has been corrected in the latest U.S. Service Pack for Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.0. For information on obtaining the Service Pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):

MORE INFORMATION

If there is only one unique match, the name resolution succeeds. The exact name resolution of Exchange Client version 5.0 does not appear to work for mailbox names with a blank in it.
