Subject: [ActiveDir] UPPER case for username

We are in the process of bringin in a couple hundred users from a
Novell Groupwise system to our AD 2003 + Exchange 2003 system. Our AD
is in Windows 2003 Native mode for forest and domain.

Because of the need to integrate Groupwise and Exchange, we need to
use Microsoft Exchange Connector for Groupwise (and Quest Migration
Wizard). The problem is, the administrator of the Novell Groupwise has
set their standard username to be in UPPER CASE, eg: JDOE, instead of
lower case eg: jdoe, and Exchange Connector for Groupwise will create
the username with the same case it is now in Groupwise.

This means in our AD domain, we will have a couple hundred users who
use UPPER CASE for their username.

Now the questions are:
- Will this cause any problem with any of Microsoft product in the
future (eg: Sharepoint).
- Is there a way to change the username  in CAPS to be in lower
letter, once Exchange connector for Groupwise creates the user?

Thanks
