You can not override the limitation in the sam name. You can have a longer UPN, but you will have a disjoint between the two logon principals, the sam account and the upn then.
BTW, who wants to type that every time they log on? Have a long password, not a long username. :op joe -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of George Arezina Sent: Wednesday, October 15, 2003 7:47 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi people, Can anyone tell me if there is a way to expand the number of characters I can use to create a username in W2K AD. Most people over in Serbia have long first names and last names. I ran into a problem when creating a username that was longer than 20 characters long. My example is as follows, andjelka.teodosijevic W2K AD would create her username as andjelka.teodosijevi without the c at the end. �� George Arezina BA, A+, Net+, MCSE 2000 Information Technology Consultant National Bank of Serbia Pop Lukina 7-9, 11000 Belgrade.
