If we receive any ticket/issue for Exchange 2010 Users then we can follow the below process..

Set-User –Identity “ User Name” – AssistantName “ Assistant Name” –TelephoneAssistant “Phone Number”.

After we update the Assistant Name in Exchange still we not able to find them in Outlook GAL or Exchange.
