Oops. According to Q276266, apparently not all of the developers at MS qualify as smart.

Smart developers won't find this to be a problem. Missy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Martin, Jon" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Exchange Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, June 18, 2002 5:58 PM Subject: LDAP DN Question In our current NT/Exchange 5.5 system, user display names are formatted as 'lastname, firstname'. In testing Win2k/Exch2k upgrades I noticed, using ADSI Edit, that the LDAP distinguished name for users ends up 'lastname\, firstname', with the slash thrown in to escape the comma character. There are references on various software development newsgroups that this slash in the DN occasionally causes headaches for developers. Has anyone seen this slash in the DN cause a problem in either Exchange or other applications that depend on LDAP? _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
