After the update is installed, the administrator must set the value of the ShowExtensionInFormattedDisplayString client policy to "true." To do this, the administrator must run the following cmdlets in the Lync Server 2010 Management Shell:

$x = New-CsClientPolicyEntry -Name "ShowExtensionInFormattedDisplayString" -Value "True"
$y = Get-CsClientPolicy -Identity Policy_Identity
$y.PolicyEntry.Add($x)
Set-CsClientPolicy -Instance $yNote In this command, "Policy_Identity" is a placeholder for the policy identity. For example, you can use "Global" as the policy identity.
