We are experiencing an issue with the autocomplete nameing in Outlook
2003. The AutoComplete name displays with the name followed by a
UniqueID. The issue is the UniqueID is the user logon name which
presents a security issue. Afterall, we remove the "last logon name"
from the logon dialog box for the same security reason.

Is there a way to remove the <UniqueID> portion of the autoComplete
name?

Interestingly, This unique ID shows as the SID/GUID for some users.

Thanks for any help you can give.

Explain what it is you are seeing and where. Exactly what do you mean by
"UniqueID?"
What mail transport was used when creating these autocompletion entries and
what address types are they?
 
The UniqueID is the term Microsoft uses for the name that appears in
angle brackets after the display name in the autocomplete entries.

This is for names from the Exchange GAL of the organization.
 
This is known behavior of which Microsoft is aware. It seems to be a
function of the way the users' mailboxes are configured, so you might post
in an Exchange group for possible workarounds.
