Customize presentation of contact details in Outlook
I used the TurnOnContactTabLabelReplace2 string for the label. And for the value, the TurnOnContactTabMAPIReplace2, which needs to be DWORD, not String.
I haven't played with this in a while, but previously the method described here did the job: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/981022/the-contact-card-in-outlook-2010-does-not-change-when-you-try-to-custo
Hi Vasil,
thank you very much for your reply. Great, that gives me hope that it is possible.;)
Based of that link you've posted I found inspiration again and did a bit of further research (matching Outlook 2016). I found that MS provides a set of Group Policies to chance the contact card details. I also played a little bit with that. But, unfortunately the replacements doesn't work.
I used the values and filled it with the specific values:
[string] = turnoncontacttabadreplace16 = extensionAttribute1
[REG_DWORD] turnoncontacttablabelreplace16 = Personalnummer
(The 16 should replace the birthday)
I also tried some Azure AD Attributes, but the behaviour doesn't change.
So, now I'm wondering, does this work for a O365 Environment with Exchange Online also?
Thank you very much in advance!
It does work, here's a quick test I did with replacing both the label and the corresponding attribute value for the Office field.
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!
