Charlie, the mod you are doing in ADUC Exchange Advanced corresponds to the "ShowInAddressBook" attrib, not the "showInAdvancedViewOnly" attrib. I am not familiar with Unity, but from what you guys have been saying, it looks that Unity is toggling the "showInAdvancedViewOnly" value, not (or maybe in addition to) the "ShowInAddressBook" attrib. Sincerely,

If I check it, the flag gets set to false. Except that our admin didn't touch the Unity config. That's the weird part. Perhaps it's a combination of disabling the account, moving it to another OU, etc. Might be a unity bug; I'll look farther into that. Problem is, if we set the "hide from address list" box in ADUC exchange advanced, it doesn't set the same flag in Unity. Seems like Unity and Exchange aren't looking at the same attribute. If I get time, I'll call cisco on it tomorrow.... ********************** Charlie Kaiser W2K3 MCSA/MCSE/Security, CCNA Systems Engineer Essex Credit / Brickwalk 510 595 5083 ********************** > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Free, Bob > Sent: Tuesday, August 16, 2005 2:19 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] User accounts with > showInAdvancedViewOnly=TRUE > > Well, here's what we found- > > Totally unrelated to Unity, our Unity admin contacted me about not > seeing an account in object picker to add to a group.
