Hi,

I'm currently investigating using the MS Office Custom Installation/Maintenance Wizard to rollout a new Outlook Profile to 60+ users.

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to pull the users First and Last names from Active Directory and to place them in environment variables so that they can later be accessed vi %first% %last%.

I use %username% to generate the first part of the individuals email address, and thought (hope) that there is an equivalent process for the users actual name.

This is my last hurdle with the rollout, otherwise it seems it will be a long couple of days accepting phone calls from people and telling them how to specify their name in their outlook profile.

Regards

Toby Heywood
