SP 2013 wrong display name

Hello gyus,
we are having troubles with several user accounts in Sharepoint 2013. Some users report their display name in SharePoint is wrong. For example... John Doe see himself logged as Martha Sanchez. He posses her permissions to Sharepoint and vice versa. We have
deleted users and ran full sync - did not help.
Have anyone experienced this?
Thank you!

Try this,
As a site collection administrator, click Site Actions –> Site Permissions
Click into any existing group (like site Owners). The URL will be something like http://server/_layouts/people.aspx?MembershipGroupID=28.
Change the 28 to a 0. The list should now show you All People.
Find the user who isn’t updating, click the checkbox by their name. Click Actions, Delete Users from Site Collection.
Now add the user back to the appropriate group, and their spelling should be correct.

Mac Mail Wrong Display Name

My Mac mail app for my icloud account has the wrong display name for the account. About three years ago, I bought my mac on the company credit card, and had to use our accounting director's name for the billing address. (We'll call him Richard Nicks). Three years later, I open Mac mail and HIS name is the display name for my icloud email!
Of course it's grayed out, so I have to change it in the icloud account. But when I go log into icloud, his name does not show up anywhere. I've confirmed the email addresses are all the same so I know I don't have multiple accounts or anything. I've closed mail, resynchronized it, rebuilt the database, no joy. Where in the world is it getting his name from and how can I change that?
Thanks
OS X 10.9.5

Thanks for the response.
In Account Preferences, the name and email address are grayed out so I cannot change those.
I looked in my contacts, go under All iCloud, and there's only one contact. The picture is of a piano that says Me, so I assume that is my Me card. This has my correct name.
Interesting to note, when I send an email from iCloud on my iPhone, it comes across with the correct display name.
I'm at a loss on where else to check. Thanks for the help!

Hi,
The issue you are describing was resolved in an Outlook Hotfix package a year ago. See

It has since been included in one of the public Outlook updates, so if you install the latest Outlook patches, it will solve your problem.

Wrong email display name with german umlauts (MS Exchange 2003)

We use 6 iPhones with Exchange 2003 and get wrong email display names with german umlauts (ä,ü,ö) - but the email-body is right.
We get special characters instead of umlauts, so the display name split into pieces. Anwering is not posipble - we get a failure-message.
We changed the standard-internet-mailformat on the exchange-server to unicode utf-8. First it works fine, after a few hours the names displays wrong again.
So we use this hotfix:
http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B916299&x=11&y=13
Same result: First it works fine, after a few hours the names displays wrong again at the iPhone.
Any ideas?

Do you have commas in the display name? We used to have "Müller, Thomas" <[email protected]> and then got the split up and special characters you mention. Tests have shown that when leaving out the comma in the display name, e.g. "Thomas Müller" <[email protected]>, everything worked fine.
Guess it's a question of whether a company wants to change its naming convention for a few iPhone users...

Multiple Accounts With Same Display Name Lync 2013

Hi All,
I have a single user in my Lync 2013 environment that sees three different users with the same exact display name. All three users have a different SIP address.
User1 - Melissa A. - [email protected]
User2 - Melissa A. - [email protected]
User3 - Melissa A. - [email protected]
Upon looking at the contact card, each user has the same display name but correct email address. However there is another email address line that appears underneath the original Send Email address line - on other computer's this appears as "IM".
The user is running a Windows Server 2012 Standard on a Hyper-V Virtual Machine. I've tried re-installing the Office 2013 suite as well as forcing an Global Address Book update from his local machine. All data is correct in Lync Server and Active Directory.
Can someone please advise? Could it be a corrupt database?
Thanks in advance,
Adrian

Hi Adrian,
You could try deleting the following data for the user.
1. User profile:
%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync\[email protected]
2. Registry Key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync\[email protected]
3. Outlook Contact
Delete the related Contact Cards in Outlook
Hope it can be helpful.
Best regards,
Eric

AD display name change is wrong

Unity 4.0(2)
When using SAWeb to import a subscriber (exchange) the application puts the exchange alias in the display name field and this cannot be changed, this then updates AD and hence the display name in AD is wrong. I noticed an earlier post talking about bug CSCeb24466 and wondered if this would affect me in this way as I'm not using the Bulk Import Tool?

I have run into this problem today and am about to log a case with the TAC. My situation is a new Cisco Unity 4.0.3 Unified Messaging in an existing AD/Exchange environment. Unity Administration has been set up to import existing users only.
When importing new Unity users from Exchange, the Display Name in the Unity Web Administration page is reading the Calling Name (cn) value from Active Directory when selecting the user to import and then overwriting the Display Name in AD when the user is added.
(I have just read Bug CSCeb54025 and this is exactly the issue, will chase the ES from the TAC)
When we deny write access to the Display Name for the UnityDirSvc account, we are unable to add users to Unity.
Why does this account require access to write any fields on the AD user account except the cisco attributes? The customer does not wish Unity Account Administrators to be able to change non-cisco Active Directory fields (such as First Name, Last Name, Display Name etc.) through the Unity interface unless crucial to the operation of Unified Messaging.
Any suggestions??
Thanks
Ben

SOST tcode display wrong contact name in recipient.

Hi All,
Our issue is with workflow sending the emails for the supplier and requestor to the wrong contact name, but correct email address. In SOST tcode recipient names are wrongly displayed. Is problem with workflow or SOST?.
Kindly advice.
Thanks,
S K.

Hi Sravan,
I guess this is an incorrect approach to maintain same email ID for multiple users. Please check if this is your business requirement else correct the same.
The user names are picked from the details maintained in SU01 and also possible if this user is assigned to a Busienss Partner, then the details are picked from t-code BP.
Please try and correct the entries for few test users. Maintain the email ID to only one user and then test if you still face the issue.
Regards,
Saumya

SharePoint 2013 Site Mailbox Display Name MDEL:SiteMailboxName

I installed the site mailbox (SiteMB) on a project site, and It synchronized with the Outlook of members in this site, but next day it disappeared from the outlook, and when I check (Manage All Site Mailboxes) I see that it is empty. Also I noticed that
the site mailbox display name changed to (MDEL:SiteMB) and no one did any changes to the site mailbox settings. And I still easily can open it from the SharePoint site.
Can anyone help with this?

http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/154/t/182999.aspx
It would appear there's a bug in Outlook when the option for Cached Exchange when the - Download Shared Folders - option is selected. The work around is you deselect the shared folders option.
File-> Account settings -> (select Exchange Account) Change -> [More Settings] button -> {Advanced tab} -> in the "Cached Exchange Mode Settings" deselect the [ ] Download Shared Folder Options. Restart Outlook.
If this helped you resolve your issue, please mark it Answered
That did not help, The problem that the mailbox is MDEL(Marked for Deletion) as if I deleted the site itself ! But I still can open the mailbox itself through the SharePoint site > Mailbox icon!!!

Change email display name????

My display name for the exhange email set up on my iphone appears wrong. I have double checked with the email provider and they say this has to be changed with apple. How do i do that?

Log into your webmail, click on Preferences (tools icon) (upper right ish). Now on the left, you click on accounts click on the account at the top (I only have one - so the details show up on the lower right) and change your from name.
Now I did stop and re-start my mail app on the ipad and it did not (yet) update the name. I am not sure when this gets done but I will be phoning shaw when I get a chance and update this post at that time.
Wish me luck. You could also set it up as a pop account. Shaw does not have the imap option like the rest of the planet (in the year of 2013!)

Is it possible to have 2 display names (one for internal use; the other for external use) in Active Directory?

The idea:
When communicating amongst our own staff via email we'd like to see our display names in this format:
Firstname Lastname (Division/Department/Branch/Unit)
Whereas, when we send emails to people outside the company, we'd like to be seen as:
Firstname Lastname (Company Name)
Is this technically possible?

Anthony

Please read about Exchange Simple Display Name if you are using Exchange in your environment. It should be suitable for your needs, but as far I know not every Exchange version support it.
In Exchange 2003 this Simple Display Name was at Advanced tab of user, but now..
With Exchange 2013, SimpleDisplayName is configured using Exchange Management Shell (EMS)
Example:
Set-Mailbox ALIAS -SimpleDisplayName $True
..and as with Exchange 2007/2010, you will need to enable UseSimpleDisplayName on RemoteDomain.

Workflow Issue : Email sender display name not as the same as alert email sender

Dear Support,
we customized a workflow for sending alert to some user when someone create a new item in the specified document library.
what we already done as below
1. the email sender address has been setup at "Central Administrator", for example "[email protected]".
2. team site title is "Customer Center Platform".
3. we customized a new workflow to trigger system send a email to recipient when someone create a new record.
what we expected is
Recipient will got a email which send from "[email protected]", the email display name should be "Customer Center Platform [[email protected]]", but in this case, the display name is "[email protected]".
it's been our experience that when we used "Alert Me" function, system will send the email and used "Customer Center Platform [[email protected]]" as email display name.
we want to change workflow email sender display name, what can we do? we are looking forward to your advice, many thanks.

Dear Hemendra,
thanks for your reply.
we follow the below guide to setup the workflow step by step
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/publicsector/archive/2007/05/22/document-workflow-how-to-sending-an-email-with-sharepoint-2007-moss.aspx
we used "Send an email" Action, the recipient can receive email, but the email sender's display name is "[email protected]",
we want to change to "Customer Center Platform [[email protected]]".
There is a native "Alert me" function under sharepoint team site, we compared the email sender display name, we found the display name in "Alert me" notification email
is "Customer Center Platform [[email protected]]".
we have no idea what is wrong when we setup the workflow.

How can I get Sender Display Name using Get-MessageTrackingLog?

Hi, could you please help me. We have got a monitoring system at work which monitors some devices, so if something wrong happening with these devices email is sent from MASTER email (Customer Name <[email protected]>) to us. I'm trying to get a list
of all emails of that monitoring mailbox using PoweShell command
Get-MessageTrackingLog and export them to CSV file. In the end of the day I need CSV file with 3 columns: TimeStamp, MessageSubject and SenderDisplayName! Yes, I need Sender Display Name cause all emails are sent from one MASTER email
(Customer Name <[email protected]>) and only difference between them is sender Display Name which is cexactly what I need.
This is the code I'm using:
Get-MessageTrackingLog -EventId Receive | Select Timestamp, MessageSubject, Sender | Export-CSV C:\NagiosAlerts.csv
–NoTypeInformation
So how can I get sender Display Name(Customer Name) using Get-MessageTrackingLog insted of Sender email (<[email protected]>)?

The DisplayName is not recorded in the Logs only the EmailAddresses are so there Is nothing you can do with Message Tracking to get this the way you want. You need to look at another property may soureIP or include something in the Subject
of the Email (eg a customerId in the Subject is a much better option) to give you some differentiation. Otherwise you need to access the Email directly from the Mailbox it was sent to and then extract the DisplayName from the message (or use a journaling
on those emails etc)
Cheers

Display name of bookmark in WebVPN

Hey,
I'm using very heavily the bookmarks within ASA WebVPN and let different users only show some of them.
Currently for my user I get 8 different bookmark lists displayed and when I reduce e.g. 3 lists, I can't see the names.
Is there a way to displan the title where I can expand/reduce them?
Thanks!

You can add the custom refiners for your content type and set the display name for the refiner.
