msExchHideFromAddressLists
was detected in the Microsoft Active Directory. This is intended to prevent certain user accounts from being displayed in the address books. By deactivating the option, these entries can also be imported from the AD.A customization of the user data can be done, after the import, either in the User and groups application or in the User accounts page of the maintenance application. Especially when importing a larger user database, e.g. from LDAP, changing user fields, such as the default location, can be done comfortably using the maintenance application.
Example: You have imported via LDAP import several hundred users as well as their departments. After the LDAP import, all users have "Antonplatz" as default location. Now filter in the maintenance application → User accounts by the department, e.g. "Personnel". Assign the new location, e.g. "Zeppelinstrasse" to the users found. In the same way, you can filter for all users with the location "Zeppelinstrasse" and assign the users found to the User Class "Personnel".
