I have a Groupwise system that I'm told has all of the sudden stopped returning distingushedName in the Items when read from the addressbook. I have been doing some testing with SoapUI and sure enough its not there, I've tried logging in with a couple different user account and none of them return it. I also tried changing the view but that didn't seem to help.
Here is hopefully the relevant part of the soap messages.
