I just create a test user, and set the specific property on user to something like XXXXX
and open the adsiedit.msc for that user and check the attribute list with value XXXXX
voila.. you got the mapping.
you can do reverse also, set value in adsiedit.msc and come back to ADUC and see which property got populated.
e.g. if you go to user properties and set the value of City = XXXXX
you will find that it corresponds to attribute L in user properties.
Other application don't go by the GUI name of property in ADUC, they go by the actual attribute name.
so if you know, the attribute name, which is used by any application, above process will give you
way to map GUI of ADUC with what application uses.
I hope this helps.

ok, so the Common Name is created from the First and Last name and in ADUC, the name displayed is NOT the displayName but the CN yet in the GAL it is the displayNmae that you see?And how is the CN affected by the DisplaySpecifiers node in the config NC?And in ADUC?And the GAL?and changing this will only affect new users so you have to edit the displayName attrib of your existing users to get it uniform?And how does AD create a cannonical name? Is it just a DN reversed?And whats in a name anyway?Thanks

Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Display in ADUC
The Display Name is not what is showing in ADUC. ADUC in the Name column is showing the CN. The CN *must* be unique for an user in a specific OU, and therefore is the field that can be used to select and open the properties of a user object.
Right-click and RENAME the user.
TIPS
You will also want to think about adding more useful columns to your ADUC view: View Add/Remove Columns. (Helps you sort by last name) for example.
One tip about that: when you add a column in a normal AD UC node (e.g. add last name to a user OU) that column will appear in *every* node (even in a computers OU) which is stupid and youll hate it. Saved Queries allow you to have unique columns visible per query, so you could create a query that shows *anything* (even a show all users in this OU query) and that will let you add the last name column to just that query.

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?
