[cisco-voip] Jabber for Windows 10.5 and Preferred Name field in LDAP/AD?

[Anthony Holloway]

I'm not sure how reliable or easy to deploy this will be, but I just used
the jabber config file generator and mapped my nickname field, and it
showed up.  I can find myself in the directory with either "anthony" or
"tony"

For the record, I don't go by Tony.  ;)
