XADM: LDAP Displays Directory Name

SUMMARY

When you run Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.0 or 5.5 and use the LDAP protocol to view the Exchange directory, the search for "cn" returns the value of the Exchange directory name. The directory name may have a nondescript value. Viewing the mailbox or custom recipient Advanced properties will show the directory name. Custom attributes modified by Dirsync may have unique directory names such as B829F6D that do not directly correlate to the Display Name, Alias, First name, or Last name.

For example, a cc:Mail or MS Mail address user1 could have B829DF6D as its directory name. A directory name must be unique and may or not be the same as the alias name.
