This was a bug in the schema in 2000. The OID is still the same,
which is I think what the Outlook Addres Book uses but the LDAP names have changed.

Subject: [ActiveDir] How do you add assistant information to an AD user account?
In honor of today
being Administrative Professionals day, I have an related Active
Directory/Exchange question.
In the old Exchange
5.5 days, the GUI had a place to type in information for a particular mailbox's
assistant and assistant phone number. This information was then displayed
in the Outlook Address Book next to the appropriate assistant fields. Once
we had the Active Directory Connector put in, we were able to update the
msExchAssistantName and telephoneAssistant AD attributes which in
turn updated the Outlook Address Book as well. This worked well at
the time.
Ever since we fully
migrated to Exchange 2003 this no longer appears to work. The data is still in the proper attributes, but it is not displayed in the Outlook Address
Book. After some investigation with ADSIEdit I discovered the assistant
and secretary attributes under the covers. However, these are in
Distinguished Name format which means they expect the whole CN=blah, OU=blah
syntax. Although I could type this in for each of our users needing this
information, it seemed like a pain so I started looking for a way to do it with
the Exchange GUI tools. No such luck.
Does anyone know of
a way to add assistant information to an AD user account without typing the CN
information? I must be missing something basic. Any help you can
provide would be greatly appreciated.
