Autocomplete name and address in outlook?

Question

Outlook

Good afternoon. In outlook2016, when filling in the "To:" field, at the moment you must first enter the name to turn on autocomplete (pulls up from contacts). If you enter a last name, then autocomplete does not turn on. Is it necessary to edit each contact and swap the last name and first name, or is there another way?

Answer 1

Outlook has "AutoComplete" technology (search in Outlook's own local cache) and "Autoresolution" (Ctrl+K -> search in GAL), it's not very clear from your description what "autocomplete" is. Let's assume it's "auto complete", because for "Auto check name" by hotkey - it is supplemented by both the first and last name, then you have to put up with it.
There is one trick, but it only works for surnames and first names in Latin, although the effect on the organization, because. name convention has to be changed.
Let's say you have a user in Active Directory: "Alexey Ivanov" - i.e. his DisplayName is "Alexey Ivanov" and outlook will search by name, and create a mailbox for him "[email protected]"
But this is rarely suitable for Russian companies, where it is still customary to start a full name in Cyrillic.
PS
All of the above is true for Exchange 2013/Outlook 2013 and above.
