Default RDOSession.CurrentUser.Name, AD or Exchange property?

If I am using the CurrentUser.Name property of an RDOSession object, does
this point back to a property in Exchange or Active Directory? If so, which
one, and which admin tool would I use to modify it? (Sorry, a sysadmin I am
not...)

Exchange (as of version 2000) uses AD, so you need to modify the AD objects.

Thanks Dmitry. Any idea which objects RDOSession.CurrentUser.Name would
point to?

Hi Dmitry,

would point to?

I guess Mike wants to know which attribute of the user object is read
to fill the Name property. Could be cn (common name), mailNickname (alias),
name or even sSAMAccountName.

@Mike
You could set up a new user object and put distinct values in those
attributes to see which one is returned.
