It's possible they didn't know :) X.500 is AKA PDN (parent distinguished name).
5.5 implementations (when Outlook was written) used X.400 transport and a X.500-like directory. Using the X.500 address of the user on the target migration system allows Outlook to resolve the originator's address in most cases. This KB helps to explain how it gets derived and what it means to OL/cached mode. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;839826 Al -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kern, Tom Sent: Monday, August 09, 2004 3:37 PM To: ActiveDir (E-mail) Subject: [ActiveDir] way OT How used is the x.500 adress namespace in exchange 2000 and to what end? thanks, i couldn't get any response from the exchange list(maybe because my queston is so stupid?)
