Distribution List name with spaces

[Sheene]

Hi,

It's a real puzzle to me how to make an object name like this as a distributionlist: "company.nl/Groups/Distributiongroups/ Distr Test". There are 10 more like these groups in the Active Directory. Now if I want to create another new distributiongroup and I place a "space" before the name " Distr Test2" it will not appear as "company.nl/Groups/Distributiongroups/ Distr Test2" but as "company.nl/Groups/Distributiongroups/Distr Test2". Windows removes the space automatically from the name. So that in the Contact List in Outlook, the Distributionlist will not show up higher like the other distributionlists.

If I look at the properties->Object-> I see "company.nl/Groups/Distributiongroups/Distr Test2"

But is should be: "company.nl/Groups/Distributiongroups/ Distr Test2" with a space before the name. How can I change the object name (in a different way)? because I can not change it, because it's a gray field.

Use an _ instead of a space.

The "_" doesnt work. Then the Objectname will show up as: "company.nl/Groups/Distributiongroups/_Distr Test2" but what I want is a space.... What other usefull tools are there for adjusting objects in the Active Directory?

using alt+160 is not worker either. Anyone else who can help me?

I found the solution: use ADSI Edit + de alt 0160 code to change the name object.

Too bad nobody could help me.
