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

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.

Charley. Submitted using http://www.outlookforums.com
