    I used the TurnOnContactTabLabelReplace2 string for the label. And for the value, the TurnOnContactTabMAPIReplace2, which needs to be DWORD, not String.

Hi Vasil,

 

thank you so much for your effort!!
Okay, that's truly a proof. Obviously I'm doing something wrong.

I configured both registry keys as well, but the changes wont take effect.
In this case I used the label telephone "work" to override and linked it with the AD-Attribute "employeeID".

 

 

 

 

The result (after gpudpate & Outlook restart).

I don't have a glue what I'm doing wrong. My guess - is there a specific way how to link the AD-Attribute? The attribute is configured in both sources (AD and Azure AD) with same ID and filled with Information.

 

As already said, I'm really grateful for your help!

    Hi Vasil,

     

    I would like to thank you! The MAPI values are working well.
    I was hoping that the AD-Attributes are also working, therefore I've opened Ticket at Microsoft Support. Our findings are the same - the MAPI values are the only working solution to rewrite information in the outlook contact card.

    So, I also thank you for your effort and help! :)
