Attributes for Exchange 5.5 Mailboxes : Name
This no real LDAP attribute, it is rather an interface property of the ADSI object representing the mailbox recipient. This 'attribute'
has nothing to do with the LDAP server - it is provided by the ADSI interface. Since this is no real LDAP attribute, you cannot use ADSPath in any LDAP filter!
The string contained in the Name property represents the relative dstinguished name of the object, including the specifier 'cn='. You can also access the pure relative name with the attribute rdn.

In this case, you have to distinguish between reading the attribute variable
from the object property cache, and displaying the Name property which
is a member of the interface-object in ADSI. The two alternatives lead
to different results:
In the first case, you get the displayname (if this attribute exists and
was set for the object). In the second case the Relative
Distinguished Name of the mailbox together with a leading 'cn=' is
returned. You find additional information about this matter in the description
of the attribute name.
