To display the extension number in the contact card, the administrator must install the following cumulative update:
2737155 Description of the cumulative update package for Lync 2010: October 2012


After the update is installed, the administrator must set the value of the ShowExtensionInFormattedDisplayString client policy to "true." To do this, the administrator must run the following cmdlets in the Lync Server 2010 Management Shell:
$x = New-CsClientPolicyEntry -Name "ShowExtensionInFormattedDisplayString" -Value "True"
$y = Get-CsClientPolicy -Identity Policy_Identity
$y.PolicyEntry.Add($x)
Set-CsClientPolicy -Instance $y
Note In this command, "Policy_Identity" is a placeholder for the policy identity. For example, you can use "Global" as the policy identity.
