Display Names not showing up in ADUC after Live Communications Ser

[Guest]

We're seeing an issue in the OUs we've created. The Display Name contents
are not showing up when viewed under Windows 2003 and XP, but does under
Windows 2000. We already saw the KB article after Live Communications Server
is installed and fixed the Add/Remove columns to add Display Name.

In our default Users container the Display Name contents are showing up. We
have created a Users OU and have moved all of our Users into this OU.
Interesting thing to note if I create a user account in the Users container
with a display name it shows up. If I then move it to the Users OU we've
created, the display name briefly shows up in the Live Communications Address
column, not the Display Name column, and then when refreshed it disappears.
If I move the account back to the Users container the display name shows back
up again.

The default Users container does not have the Live Communications Address
column as a choice to be added.

Help.

Hello Cyndi,
I have wrote a KB about this with a resolution.

Columns in Active Directory Users and Computers disappear after you install
Microsoft Live Communication Server 2003:

I saw that. Our problem is not that we can't add the columns. The columns
are there. Our problem is that the information is not showing up filled out
for our users. I checked and verified that the only information that gets
filled out in our OUs is Name, Type, Description, and Live Communications
Address. So we're still being affected by LCS.
For example if I create a user in the Users container the following
information shows up for them:
Name Type Description Display Name Last Name First Name (etc.)
test User Test User test Test
Tester

When I move this user to our Users OU that we've created I see the following:
Name Type Description Live Communications Address Display
Name Last
test User Test User
Name First Name

The previously populated fields of Display Name, Last Name, and First Name
disappear. If I move this user back to the Users container the information
comes back.

Thanks.
