RE: [ActiveDir] AD attributes

[John Hicks/MIS/HQ/KEMET/US]

I have tried using  %<sn>.,%<userlogonName> and different variants of that but cannot get it to work. Do you know if it is possible to change the display name to the logon name? The main reason for this is so that I can use scripts to create users. We have to change this value because we use MSDSS to sync between NDS and AD and when you create an ID in AD it creates the account in NDS with the FQN and then you cannot login to Novell with the NT logon name. I have read through several books on ADSI and AD programming and cannot find out how to make this work.

Thanks

Subject: [ActiveDir] AD attributes


I am trying to change the way accounts in AD are displayed after creation. Currently the display name automatically uses the First,Initial, Last name. I am trying to set the property to make it use the logon name by default and am having some problems. I can make it use only the first name or only the last name, but have not figured out how to make it use the logon name. I am making my changes uses ADSI Edit and modifying the createdialog attribute. I tried adding the samrename key under HKLM/System/CCS/Services/MSDSS/Parameters, but this did not work. I know there is an AD guru on this list that can answer this.

Thanks
