XADM: Auto-naming Feature Doesn't Work with Directory Import

   Auto naming rules lets you customize the display name. . . for new
   mailboxes.
				

   Use Auto Naming Options to control the way display and alias names
   for mailboxes and custom recipients are automatically generated.
				

MORE INFORMATION

Default generation of Display-Name and Alias-Name when not specified has been changed to be as much like the Administrator program as possible. When the import occurs, the Admin options value is read from the registry at:

   HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Exchange\ 
   MSExchangeAdminCommon:Options
				

and the AutoText format strings for generating Display-Name and Alias-Names are extracted from it. If these values are not specified, are not readable, or are specified as constant strings, the default format strings are used.

The default strings are: Display Name = "%First %Last" and Alias Name = "%First%1Last". For each entry created, if there is no value specified for Display-Name or Mail-Nickname, a default value is constructed according to the rule obtained above. If the registry parameter holds a constant literal string, the Common-Name is used.

NOTE: This does NOT apply to modifications, only creating new entries. Also, to fall inline with the Microsoft Exchange Administrator program, the method used to get a default value for Assoc-NT-Account has been slightly modified: if no value is specified for either Assoc-NT-Account or Obj-User, the Mail-Nickname is used (either as specified or as constructed). The former behaviour was to use the value specified for the Common-Name.
