Display the users middle initial or middle name in active directory and it shows in outlook 2010 as well.

Question

I would like for the users middle initial or middle name to show in outlook 2010. I
can set it in the header meaning I see the middle initial when the email comes in but its not in the signature. I read a post about the middle name attribute has to be set in a/d? if that is the case please provide some feed back on how to accomplish that?

Answer 1

In AD, the attribute name is "middleName". You can populate it in bulk using Powershell with
Set-ADUser cmdlet.
