  • Article

Data type: PtypString ([MS-OXCDATA] section 2.11.1)

The PidTagDisplayName property ([MS-OXCFOLD] section 2.2.2.2.2.5) represents a displayable form of an Address Book object. When the Address Book object is a mail user, the PidTagDisplayName property is the full name of the mail user. When the object is a distribution list, the value of the PidTagDisplayName property is the name of the distribution list that would be displayed when addressing messages to that distribution list. When the object is a Department object, the PidTagDisplayName property value contains the name of that department. When the object is any other Address Book object, the value of the PidTagDisplayName property is the displayable name of that object.

The PidTagDisplayName property is also one of the columns that are returned for the set of address book containers in the address book hierarchy table. The value of the PidTagDisplayName property for each row in the hierarchy table represents the name of the address book container of that row.
