Symptoms

In a Microsoft Exchange Server environment, consider the following scenario:

  • A user is hidden from the global address list (GAL).

  • The user has an Address Book Policy applied.

In this scenario, the From field on items in the Sent Items folder on an ActiveSync device shows the LegacyDN of the user instead of the display name or SMTP address.

Cause

The issue occurs because the LDAP search for the user is not resolved to their display name or SMTP address.
