I actually reported this to Microsoft five years ago, along with another bug, where Group Membership property set contained the membership property. However, checking this permission didn't affect anything, because membership is a property of a group object and this property set was attached to user object. They fixed Group Membership for WS2003, but for "Phone and Mail Options" the reply was that it will be used once the Exchange folks start to use it (so it was a placeholder). However, even Ex2003 doesn't use it, so it seems that this placeholder was not needed, after all. If someone actually wants to read on, here are three samples of the prop set peculiarities: - givenName and sn are part of "Public Information" but initials is part of "Personal Information". - displayName is part of "General Information" but cn is part of "Public Information". Quite confusing to an administrator. - Country/region is stored in three attributes (c, co, and countryCode). These three all belong to different property sets (Personal Information, Public Information, and General Information). So, some wishes about prop sets: - There were different prop sets for "internal" attributes and the ones visible in ADUC. - Exchange would not mess the builtin prop sets, but would add its own, that would use a Ex prefix. - The prop set would at least somewhat correspond to the tabs in ADUC. Yours, Sakari PS. I acknowledge that those wishes may also have some drawbacks, such if Exchange added its own prop sets, the existing accounts would need new ACEs.
