Nick Name in Outook

[Charley Thomas]

Dear all,

I want to add a Nick Name in the AD. Is this possible. If so where should I put or add the nick name in the following flelds.

First Name
Initials
Last Name
Display Name


In outlook, the nick name is should be picked up in the search. Is this possible?

I tried giving "First name"SPACE"nick name", then also the nick name is not picked up in the search.

Employees are known mostly by nick name. My intention is that, when the nick name is typed, outlook should automatically pick up the employee. I believe outlook searches only First name, Last name and the alias only.

Any ideas will be highly appreciated.

Regards,

Charley.

Typed where? If you mean the To field, then this will never happen because
typing in the To field doesn't search anything.

The nickname should be the first name field if its what the person is
called.

Thanks Brian. Sorry for the late reply, weekend. Well, what I meant was typing in To field and then if check names is clicked, then that person should be found..

Thanks. Sorry for the late reply, weekend. Does this mean that oulook only searches for firstname, lastname and alias fields by default? Is there a way that I can put the nick name as part of Display name and outlook searches for it from the display name? I already tried but no success.
