In our organisation we have many duplicate names. While the telephone number,
Office,title and company are all different they are too abstract to clearly
identify the individual. Is it possible to display the Department field in
the choose name dialog box either by replacing one of the fields (eg. type of
email addresse) or simply by adding it ? (preferably directly next to the
name!) A tall order perhaps but I'm sure someone out there has an idea ...
thanks

Is this an Exchange environment?

Yes we have exchange 2003 and will be migrating to 2008 shortly. I would add
that the user environment is French (we're in quebec here)

All the information in the GAL is from what's entered in ADUC. Edit the
information in ADUC to update the GAL.

This doesn't really answer my question. I want to know if the dialog box
columns can be modified to show the department field in the GAL (which i know
comes from ADUC) I don't want to change the information in the GAL merely to
display another field(department) in the "Choose name" dialog box

Since this is related to Exchange and ADUC, you might want to do a search
through the Exchange or AD groups.
Personally, I just use an existing field to put in the person's department
and/or job title.

I use the description field for the job title and the Office for the
person's department and also location code.
