SUMMARY
=======
In the Microsoft Exchange Server Administrator program, a user can set a default
auto-naming policy to generate display and alias names for mailboxes and custom
recipients. When you set these policies in the Administrator program, they are
stored for each Microsoft Windows NT domain user who opens the Administrator
program on a given system.
To view the auto-naming settings in the Administrator program, click Options on
the Tools menu, and then click the Auto Naming tab.
MORE INFORMATION
================
Because the auto-naming policies are stored for each Windows NT domain user that
opens the Administrator program on a given system, it can be difficult to
maintain an enterprise standard for these settings. These difficulties increase
if you change these policies from the default values. To ensure that the
enterprise standards are maintained when generating display names and aliases,
you can modify the registry by using Windows NT logon scripts or by importing a
registry import (.reg) file that contains these settings.
To create a registry import file, copy the following text to a notepad (text)
document, and then rename the file to Exadmin.reg:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Exchange\MSExchangeAdminCommon]
"DNGAutotextFormat"="%First %Last"
"ANGAutotextFormat"="%First%1Last"
DNGAutotextFormat refers to the generation of the display name of a user mailbox
or custom recipient.
ANGAutotextFormat refers to the generation of the alias of a user mailbox or
custom recipient.
You can implement the Exadmin.reg file by using logon scripts for Exchange Server
administrators in the organization or by having administrators import the
Exadmin.reg file manually.
