SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Office Live Meeting, Live Meeting Portal creates an Active Directory directory service user. When this occurs, the middleName attribute is concatenated to the surname (sn) attribute to form the lastName property of the Live Meeting user.

For example, the Active Directory user account for Shirleen H. Travers is configured as follows.

The resulting user account has the following properties in Live Meeting.

When you search for this user in Live Meeting Manager by last name, or when you view reports that are sorted by last name, you find this user in the &quot;H&quot; section instead of in the &quot;T&quot; section of the sort order.

Note This problem does not occur with the initial attribute in Active Directory.
