RE: [ActiveDir] Display in ADUC

I have to ask.  What Dean shows will change the way that new names will get created.  But I'm curious if the original postor knows that by default you're looking at the users cn vs. the displayname?   Otherwise, I'm confused about the difference between a property sheet and ADUC references.  Can the original postor expand on that?   Dean, if you need a reference to the English language and where it's spoken, I believe you can find some of it's uses here: http://www.engrish.com/  That may not help define US English, but it may be a start. If not, then this might be better - From: http://www.kvenno.is/kennarar/shil/Fourth/StoryofE/Complete.pdf   "It is reasonable to ask if changes in English can be predicted. There will doubtless be modifications in pronunciation, especially in that of long vowels and diphthongs. In weakly stressed syllables there is already a discernible tendency, operating effectively through radio and television, to restore the full qualities of vowels in these syllables. This tendency may bring British English more into line with American English and may bring them both a little nearer to Spanish and Italian. Further, it may help to narrow the gap between pronunciation and spelling."   Al -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dean Wells Sent: Thursday, October 13, 2005 11:25 AM To: Send - AD mailing list Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Display in ADUC 1.

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?
