Custom attributes added to user objects not visible in OWA address book

Hi,
I am using Exchange 2013 and recently added a new custom attribute in the user object properties using the details template editor to be visible in the GAL The new attribute is correctly getting displayed in the GAL from outlook clients but not visible
in OWA address book. Is there a way to update the display of user objects in OWA address book to include the new custom attribute?
Thanks!

Hi Abu,
Please see following link:
Customize Details Templates
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms.exch.toolbox.detailstemplate(v=exchg.150).aspx
It says, Use the Details Templates Editor to customize the client-side graphical user interface (GUI) presentation of object properties that are accessed by using address lists in Microsoft Outlook.
My understanding is this setting only visible in Outlook.
Please correct me if there is any misunderstanding.
Thanks

New users are not updated in Outlook address book (Offline)

Hi All,
We are having an Exchange 2010 environment. from few weeks we are experiencing this issue. When we create new user or change the name of a existing user, it is not updated in outlook address book. Can anyone help me to sort this issue?.
Regs,
Sachitha.

What is the Outlook client you are using? Is it 2003 or 2007+
You are right, you don;t have to update the OAB manually, the kind of issue you are facing is very know (As far as I experienced). After you update the OAB manually, check the issue and it should be fine.
After that create a Test User and check in Outlook if you see it populated.

Contacts added are not showing up on address book.

I created new contact entries using certain apps, such as SimplyTweet, which did not appear on my Address Book. However, doing a spotlight search on my phone shows those entries exist, but cannot be edited. Anybody else having a similar issue?

Hello everyone!
For all of you out there who have received phone calls, text messages, etc, and have tried adding a contact by means other than directly via the contacts app only to have your contact not show up ANYWHERE (except maybe in a spotlight search), this quick troubleshooting guide is for you.
Disclaimers: This can be performed on an Apple computer, I do not troubleshoot for PC's (however, anyone who knows their way around computers can easily modify the steps for a PC). This method can also be used if you sync your contacts via MobileMe like I do, and should work for the iPhone 3G, 3GS, and 4. I have the latest OS on my iPhone, but it should work with any recent OS. My iTunes has been updated to the most recent version.
Step 1: Open Address Book on your mac. Make sure your address book view is extended to show your groups in the left column. Under groups, everyone will have a group labeled "All Contacts". If that's the only group you have, it's time to create another one. Click the "+" at the bottom of your group column and name your new group whatever you want. For my purposes (as this was an iPhone issue), I named my new group "iPhone Contacts". Do not add any contacts from "All Contacts" to your new group, as this will be unnecessarily redundant. Close Address Book, you're done with it.
Step 2: Open iTunes and plug in your iPhone. Hopefully you have your settings to manually sync when you plug your iPhone into iTunes, otherwise wait until it's synced to continue. Click the "Info" tab in iTunes. The first option is Sync Address Book Contacts. Make sure this option is checked. Under the first subheading, make sure "All contacts" is checked. Below the groups box, there will be a line that says "Add contacts created outside of groups on this iPhone to:" and make sure this is checked as well. (Bonus info- Unless you created a contact directly via the contacts app on your iPhone, that contact ends up in another list. This is why you can't see it right now.) At this moment is where that new contact group you created in Address Book comes into play. Use the drop-down menu to the right of this option to select that group (remember mine was "iPhone Contacts"). Do not change anything else. Now click "Sync" in the bottom right corner of iTunes.
Step 3: Once your iPhone is synced, open the Contacts app on your iPhone. If it opens to a contact list, tap the "Groups" button in the upper left corner of the screen. You should see two or three sections. The top section will simply be "All Contacts". The second section will be titled "From My Mac" and will display both "All from My Mac" and the new group you created in Address Book. If you use MobileMe, you will have a third section titled "[email protected]", under which your MobileMe contact group will fall. Make sure you tap the top group, "All Contacts". You will find those "missing" contacts now listed among all your other ones.
Bonus: If you find you have duplicate contact names but neither contact has a full information card, you can edit the contact, scroll to the bottom and tap the "Link contacts" button, then link your duplicates to insure you have all the info you want.
Success!! If you have any questions, let me know.

Changes not being saved in Address Book

Hi,
I've been editing one of the entries in my Address Book (deleting the surname input), but every time I do this and go out of Address Book the surname comes back. Not a massive problem, but it's very annoying especially as it all links in to Mail etc.
If anyone knows why this is and how it can be fixed it would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I just encountered the same thing while setting up a couple new Macs with 10.6.8, it's very frustrating, but I found the solution, at least in my case. Maybe this is the same problem you are encountering:
I imported a whole bunch of contacts from another Mac to the first one (using a batch vCard). Anyway, I noticed a few of them were out of date so I edited them. Then I saved them (using both the export vCard group and the Address Book archive), then I took that file to the second Mac I was setting up, and imported them. but I noticed that most (but not all) of the changes I'd just made (prior to exporting) were not saved. This was quite a puzzler, and took a little while to figure out why some changes were being saved and not others.
I believe this problem is due to a interface design flaw in Address Book.
You see, when you press the "Edit" button to unlock a contact record, the "edit" button turns blue (signifying that the record is editable). But what's not clear is that none of the changes are actually committed until you press the exact same "Edit" button again to commit all the changes you've made (on that record and any others edited since the "Edit" button was last clicked).
So, really, what's missing here is a warning dialog. When you select an Export option, and the "edit" button is still blue, a dialog should appear saying that "recent changes are unsaved and will be lost" (or something to that effect). In my opinion, the edit button should probably turn into a "Save Changes" button or something like that.
This is especially confusing, because the uncommitted changes are persistently visible in the Address Book even after switching contacts. In most databases, uncomitted changes are lost as soon as you leave a record without saving, but not in Address Book. It looks like all your changes have been made even though they aren't. And I think it's fair to say that the typical user will assume that when you export the address book contacts, the export will appear identical to how it appeared when they saved it, but if the "Edit" button was blue during the save, that will not be the case, and there is no warning to that effect. So it leads to unexpected behavior in that some recent changes are saved but the most recent are not.
Anyway, I'm sure there'll be other opinions as to the interface design, but it's clear to me this is the problem, and the solution is to always make sure the "edit" button is NOT blue before saving or exporting the address book or contacts.
I also wouldn't have noticed it unless I was trying to set up two computers at once (since the changes were so minor, I might have not ever noticed they weren't saved otherwise). So I wouldn't be surprised if this problem has been around for a long time and I never noticed it before.
Hope that helps...

IPhone not syncing Contacts to Address Book

I noticed that my iPhone (both original iPhone and iPhone 3G) was not syncing contacts with Address Book. I tried to Reset Sync History in iSync, and when I have tried to replace the contacts on iPhone under the Advanced options, I lose all my contacts on the iPhone!
The only way to get some contacts back is restoring from backup, but unfortunately as iTunes performs a backup of the iPhone on sync, these backups also have no contacts! I have an old backup that fortunately has not been overwritten but the contact list is a bit out of date.
Address Book on the Mac seems to be fine and this is backed up.
It would appear that iTunes has somehow lost its "connection" to Address Book, which is why when I chose to replace the Contacts on the iPhone with the information on the computer I lost them all!
iCal still seems to sync fine with Calendar.
Can I re-link Address Book with iTunes?

Hey lim_my,
Are contacts syncing with MobileMe or any other applications?
I don't have MobileMe.
Now you mention it, Address Book did not appear to even update if I updated a contact in Mail.
Can you sync contacts in another User account? to create another user account goto System Preferences> Accounts> click the lock to make changes> click the + button to add another user account.
Yes I can! I only tried to sync Contacts, leaving all other options i.e Calendars Bookmarks Ringtones Music Videos Applications untouched, and now I have some test Contacts on the iPhone.
You can try Resetting the SyncServices folder, Just follow the steps in this article to stop the service and then delete the SyncServices folder in your user library.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
I had tried this before, within iSync, which did not work. I then tried the command in Terminal as per the above link, then went and deleted the /user/Library/ Sync Services folder. Still no joy.
So it looks as though I have a broken Address Book rather than iTunes. Should I post this in the OS X Leopard section of Discussions?

Reset the device. If it doesn't work try removing your account and adding it again. If that doesn't work then try restoring the device to factory settings by pluggin into iTunes and clicking "Restore".

I have just set up icloud and all my contacts are duplicated from Address Book! My new iPhone is also showing duplicate contacts even though they are not duplicated in my address book on my computer. Please can you help?

Also, what are the source of your contacts? are they created on the phone, or you synced from yahoo/hotmail etc.
If thats the case, the circular arrow wont be visible but instead show "groups"
Contacts from different accounts are not synced to iCloud.

'Notes' field within the Address Book is greyed out

The 'Notes' field within the Address Book is greyed out. The resolution seems simple enough yet this does not work: "Select the person in the Name column in Address Book, then click the Note field in the card."
It's still grey after doing so and data cannot be entered into the 'Notes' field.
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks!

You'll want to post this in the Mail & Address Book forum. That link will take you to the Mail & Address Book forum for Tiger, and there is a link at the top of the page to the Mail & Address Book forum for Panther and earlier if you need to go there.

Iphone does not sync with Yahoo Address Book

Hi My iPhone does not sync with Yahoo Address book. iTunes comes back with an error
"iTunes could not sync with Yahoo Address Book.Because an Internet connection not available"
This make no sense as I am conected to the internet. iTunes can acess the iTunes Store without a problem. I can also access the Web.
Any ideas?

I ran into this problem just within the past couple of weeks. I found someting on another discussion group on the net about someone with the same problem. They said that it was because one of their notes was too long.
I looked at my notes and wouldn't you know it, I created a couple of extra long notes a couple of weeks ago! I deleted them and I am able to sync without errors again. I didn't know there was a size limit for a note on the iphone.
PS. I have an iPhone 3GS, iOS 5.1.1, iTunes 10.6.3.25

Help, I can not drag and drop address book contacts into numbers.

i have read the manual. watched videos on youtube, but I can not drag and drop address book contacts into numbers or pages. I upgraded to Numbers 09. set up the fields as stipulated, but when I drag a contact to the numbers canvas it just bounces back to address book. I tried reinstalling 09 thinking it was a faulty install. no luck. Have tried dragging to balnk part of canvas, to the table, and to a table with fields, no luck.
Thank you.

Could be a preferences setting. See Jerry's post in this thread.

My iPod is not syncing the full address book

Hello, I have a problem is that this last few times that I've tried to Sync my iPod, it is not copying my full Address book. I have it set to sync the full Address Book but I am just getting a weird scattering of addresses of about a screen-full plus one address, the top one has no name in the list. I've tried going in and deleting from the Contact folder the isync.vcf but it has still not helped. It is the same sub-set that gets synced.
Help.

Subsequent software updates (OS and iTunes) has seemed to have resolved this issue.
Cheers, Andrew.

Lotus Notes 5.x Personal Address Book for mailings?

Is it possible to use the Lotus Notes 5.x Personal Address Book for mailings in StarOffice 7?
There is no direct choice for Notes in Extras/Datenquellen.

You will need to check to see how you configured CCM Enterprise parameters. most of the time, the pararemeters need to be set to IP address, not hostname. I find hostnames for the CM servers to be a pain in the rear for "services" "directories" etc.
Unless you want to configure DNS on the IP phones to resolve the hostname of the CM5 server, then then it will also work. But your problem is that your phones configs think that the Directories URL is http://cmhostname/xxx/xx instead of URL http://ipaddresscmserver/xxx/xx

Custom Attribute in OIM user Form is not populated.

Hi Friends,
I am new to this Identity Manager Technology. I really all ur support.
I am using oracle Identity Manager 9.1.0.2 version with JBoss server. The Target System is Sun One directory.
1. I added the custom field street in Resource Object--Object Reconciliation Tab for Xellerate User and also for Iplanet Users objects.
2. In Process definition, for iplanet user provisioning Process and Xellerate Users provisioning process, in Reconciliation Field Mappings. I mapped the street field to the UDF(street) and also for UD_iplanet_Street .
3. When I run the task schedular for Iplanet User Recon, the string associated with the field in Iplanet is reflecting in resource profile of the user view/Edit. However, it is not populated in OIM User Form Field.
Can you please help me in resolving the issue. I will provide any further needed information.
Thanks and Regards,
Manjula

Thank you for your prompt reply.
Yes. I tested it.. I can see the street field in the process form is populated with the string. However, I cannot see the same in the OIM User Profile Form. That Means, When I go to User folder in Admin and User Console, Manage Users and then select the user associated with the street field, the street field for the user is not populating and is empty without any string.
Please clarify me.
Thanks and Regards,
Manjula.

ADDING CUSTOM ATTRIBUTES TO PORTAL USER

Hi,
We are using ldap server as the EP 6.0 user database.
We have to add few custom attributes like comanycode etc to the user.
As I understand, the first activity will be to add these custom attributes in the ldap followed by mapping of portal logical attributes and the custom attributes in dataSourceConfiguration_xxx.xml file.
Now what about showing these attributes in the all relevant user management screens (like Create User, Modify User etc).
Can anyone please tell the configuration for the same.
Any input is highly appreciated.
regards,
Chandra

Hi
Additional custom attributes can be added by editing the dataSourceConfig....xml.In this case logical to physical mapping has to be performed for each attribute.The attributes created without any mapping may be using the default namespace.
The getArttibute() method can be used for getting the attribute values of the specified logical attribute.
IUser user;
String attrs[]=
user.getAttribute("<nameSpace>","<logicalname>");
<b>Editing the dataSourceConfig....xml for Logical to Physical mapping</b>
Inside the nameSpace add the attribute inside the attributes tag as below.
<nameSpace name =.........>
<attributes>
<attribute name = "<logicalnameyouwant>">
</attribute>
</attributes>
Inside the attributeMapping specify the attribute name given above and the physicalAttribute as below
<attributeMapping>
<nameSpace name =.........>
<attributes>
<attribute name ="<logicalnameyouwant>"
<physicalAttribute name= "<physicalnameyouwant>"/>
</attribute>
</attributes>
</attributeMapping>
