OK, I followed KB250455. Opened ADUC, created new users and display in ADUC MMC (main window) was correct, i.e. lastname, firstname. Users created before KB250455 unchanged, i.e. firstname lastname.
Ran the script in KB277717 on the OU that contained users created before KB250455 was run. Output (command prompt window) correctly identified users in correct format, i.e. lastname, firstname. Here is where I think things are going south, in the main ADUC window the old users are still displayed as firstname lastname, but new users are displayed as lastname, firstname. Is it possible to change the way users in the main ADUC window are displayed?? I mean can I retrofit the old users to display like new ones?

User accounts already created before the change remain as is. To change the display name of those users (already created) also see Q277717 Regards, Jorge -----Original Message----- From: Gilbert, Daniel L Mr ANOSC/FCBS To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 12/31/2003 12:08 AM Subject: [ActiveDir] User Display Question To All: If this issue has been covered before please point me in the right direction. I am attempting to change the default display of users in ADUC. I did some research and found Q250455, which is titled "How to Change Display Names in Active Directory". Followed this Q article and new users created now display as: lastname, firstname. Now my question, how do I make this change retroactive? Should all existing users display change to lastname, firstname or do I need to run another script to change their display as well? Daniel L.
