256986 Description of the Microsoft Windows Registry



SUMMARY
This article describes how to modify the default display name and alias for custom recipients that are created when you perform directory synchronization (dirsync) between Lotus cc:Mail and Exchange Server, versions 5.5 or 5.0, or Exchange 2000 Server. When you migrate users from cc:Mail to Exchange, and these custom recipients are converted to mailboxes, the display names and aliases for the custom recipients are maintained.



MORE INFORMATION
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.

Modifying the Display Name
When you perform dirsync between cc:Mail and Exchange, the default display name for custom recipients that are created is the user's first name and last name, separated by a space. To modify the display name that is used, follow these steps:  Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe). Locate the Dir Synch display name rule registry value under the following key in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeCCMC\Parameters

  Click String on the Edit menu, type a new rule, and then click OK. The following table lists the rules that you can use:      Rule     Purpose %F   Includes the first  characters of the user's first name. If the  component is not used, the entire first name is              included. For example, to include the first five characters of the first name, type "%5F" (without quotation marks). To              include the entire first name, type "%F" (without quotation               marks).

%L   Includes the first  characters of the user's last name. If the <n> component is not used, the entire first name is              included. For example, to include the first five characters of the last name, type "%5L" (without quotation marks). To              include the entire last name, type "%L" (without quotation               marks).

%I      Includes the user's middle initial.

Includes. For example, to include "cc:Mail User," type "cc:Mail User" (without quotation marks). To include a              space, press SPACE BAR. Note that this rule can only be              used at the end of the string. </li> Quit Registry Editor.</li></ol>

Modifying the Alias
When you perform dirsync between cc:Mail and Exchange Server, the default alias for custom recipients that are created is the user's first name and the first character of their last name. To modify the alias that is used, follow these steps: <ol> Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).</li> Locate the Dir Synch display name rule registry value under the following key in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeCCMC\Parameters

</li> Click String on the Edit menu, type a new rule, and then click OK. The table in the "Modifying the Display Name" section of this article lists the rules that you can use.</li> Quit Registry Editor.</li></ol>
