Overview
You must modify the Mapnotes.tbl file located in the Exchsrvr\Connect\Exchconn\Dxamex folder to change the default settings for the display
names and aliases.
Before you modify Mapnotes.tbl, make a backup copy of the file.
Steps to Change the Display Name
- To make the display name appear as "Last Name, First Name" make the
following change to the FullName parameter in the
Exchsrvr\Connect\Exchconn\Mapnotes.tbl file:
FullName= Lastname ", " Firstname
- To make the alias appear as "LastnameFirstInitial" make the following
change to the Alias parameter in the
Exchsrvr\Connect\Exchconn\Mapnotes.tbl file:
Alias = Lastname Left(Firstname, 1)
- After you make the changes above to the Mapnotes.tbl file, stop and
restart the Microsoft Exchange Notes Connector and Microsoft Exchange
Connectivity Controller.
- Run dirsync, and request a Full Immediate upload between Notes and
Exchange Server.
NOTE: Changes to the Mapnotes.tbl file dynamically update existing
users.
