Active Driectory doesnt use this attribute for any generic function, but it's mandatory in environments where some kind of global addresss lists have to be built for mail systems like Exchange. Here the displayName attribute is used strictly for such lists - and its a must attribute for the Exchange-mail-enabled user. See also the descriptions here in the SelfADSI tutorial according "Creating mail enabled users".
