We're consolidating all our databases here, so A/D becomes the central point for information. Our DC's are running 2008 R2, and we use SharePoint 2010, Exchange 2010, Lync 2010 etc.
Our legacy company phone book uses various fields that I can't find the equivalent of in A/D though, so either I'm missing something, or I need to modify some attributes. Specifically, what we need are;
Given Title (e.g. Mr, Mrs). A/D has the 'Title' attribute, but this seems to be for job title
Preferred (Friendly) name (e.g. person might be called 'Robert', but this attribute would be 'Bob'). Can't find anything in A/D for this
I know there are the generic extensionAttribute1-15, but I've read that you can't really rename these. Are there attributes there already that could be used for this? I've looked closely, but can't see anything.
