Emacs (and XEmacs) comes with EUDC, the Emacs Unified Directory
Client.  You can tell it to query both LDAP and BBDB.  (Alas, I
haven't been able to figure out, how.  Must be me not being able to
grok the docs.)  It has a command eudc-expand-inline which fills the
role of bbdb-complete-name.

I wonder if the LDAP schema is different for your exchange setup?

I can show my entry in our ldap directory with something like this:

ldapsearch -x -D "jhuber@company.com" -b "dc=company,dc=com" -W \
  -h dc1.company.com "cn=Josh Huber"

I have this in my custom configuration:

'(eudc-inline-query-format (quote ((sn) (givenName) (givenName
  sn) (mailNickname) (sAMAccountName))))

Each is a symbol in the schema which eudc will try to match on
with whatever text is before the point (when you issue an
eudc-expand-inline).

Here are a few:

givenName: Josh
sn: Huber
mailNickname: jhuber
sAMAccountName: jhuber

Are the "possible completions" really empty?  I wonder if this
has something to do with the query format as well...

What is the value of eudc-inline-query-format, and do the
symbols match the schema of your ldap directory entries?
