I know that. Thanks Dean Just wondering what affects what.
Does changing that affect the creation of the name displayed(not to be confused
with displayName) in ADUC ?
Or just the GAL?
How 'bout the CN?
The CN is created from given name and surname so i assume it is affected by
changing the DisplaySpecifiers node which in turn should affect the name
displayed in ADUC as well as the GAL....
And the CN is pretty much the same as the RDN and the CN is NOT the same as the
Cannoical Name which is just a backwards DN?
am i right on anything?
Also while i'm on the topic, what is it with MS and names?
The name displayed in the admin utils is NOT the same as the displayName.
A domain is a managment boundary as well as a way to segment the namespace in
dns as well as a NC.
Why can't MS retire "domain" and use Realm for the management part and
something like "local paratition" for the NC part and just leave domain for dns?
Also, controlAccessRight vs controlAccessRights??
A rose is a rose...
thanks again.

1. Run ADSIEDIT.MSC (or equiv.) from the Support Tools (located on the
Windows CD)
2. Expand the Configuration container
3. Expand cn=DisplaySpecifiers then cn=409 (assuming this is for US
English ... whatever that is ;o)
4. Locate cn=user-Display and bring up its properties.
5. Locate and edit the createDialog property
6. Set the value to the following literal (or experiment and locate the
properties of your choosing) -
%<sn>, %<givenName>
7. Ensure the change above has replicated to or was originated against
the DC(s) in focus before re-running Active

Subject: [ActiveDir] Display in ADUC
We have 2003 AD. I changed the display name of a user in their property
sheet but it still shows the old display name when you look at it in Active
Directory Users and Computers. You can look at the properties and it shows the
new display name.. What else do I need to do?
