I don't understand the quesiton. You want an environment variable that resolves to the value of the sn and givenName attributes strung together? --Brian

Unfortunately Stephen I have never seen anywhere that this may be something
that is configurable. I highly doubt that it is.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Variables allowed for creating home folders
My question is this. Is there a variable that I can use when creating user
home directories that will resolve to the âUser Logon Nameâ just as &username&
resolves to the samaccount name or âPre Windows 2000 User Logon Nameâ field?
Background:
Normally what I use when creating home directories (actually allowing AD to
make them I should say) is (location)\&username& and this creates the home directory
using the name shown in the âPre Windows 2000 User Logon Nameâ field (actually the
samaccount name I believe).
Do to a change in naming conventions I would like to adjust that. The new
naming convention is the âPre Windows 2000 User Logon Nameâ field will be a number
such as 12345 while the âUser Logon Nameâ will be the users name. I would prefer
to have the home directories name be a little more readable rather than have people
having to remember their number.
This is only an issue when going though the GUI. Iâve all ready got the
script that I use to make users in batch mode converted over. I just took the UPN
name and stripped off everything after the @ character and used that to name the home
directories.
Thanks for any help!
