The client SHOULD use the value of the objectClass attribute to help distinguish between different types of directory entries when displaying entries to the user. For example, the client can display a different icon or make the item bold to make it easy for a user viewing the object to distinguish its type. If no objectClass attribute is returned for an entry, the client MUST treat it as a value of "organizationalPerson".
The value of the objectClass attribute is used to determine the value of the PidTagDisplayType property, as specified in [MS-OXOABK] section 2.2.3.11. The following objectClass attribute values correspond to the following PidTagDisplayType property values.
