256986 Description of the Microsoft Windows Registry



SYMPTOMS
When a user receives a message from the Internet, the user's SMTP address appears on the To or the Cc line instead of their display name.



CAUSE
By default, if the recipient's mailbox is on the same server as the Internet Mail Service, the To, Cc, or Bcc fields, which are all P2 properties, are not resolved against the global address list.



RESOLUTION
In order to force the resolution of all P2 properties against the global address list, you need to turn on the ResolveP2 registry value.

WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

 Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe). Locate the ResolveP2 value under the following key in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeIMC\Parameters

 On the Edit menu, click DWORD, type 1, and then click OK. Quit Registry Editor.

You now need to stop and restart the Internet Mail Service.
 * 1) Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
 * 2) Double-click Services.
 * 3) Locate the Microsoft Exchange Internet Mail Service.
 * 4) Click the Stop button.
 * 5) When the Internet Mail Service has stopped, click Start.
