Don't i know it! Management have this huge IT budget, which they /could/ use to get me my MCSE, but instead decide it'd be far more cost effective to hire consultants who get ignored until someone agrees with what the management already think....
I gotta admit, this managing is harder than it looks! maybe... -----Original Message----- From: Neil Hobson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 29 November 2001 15:40 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Upper case alias? You should pick your consultants more carefully, then. :-) -----Original Message----- From: Boswell Tim [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Posted At: 29 November 2001 15:25 Posted To: Sunbelt Exchange List Conversation: Upper case alias? Subject: RE: Upper case alias? Yep...this guy was weird...the chip he had on his shoulder could feed a third world country for a decade...Still, as long as they don't want me to rename the existing 1500 users, I don't have a problem! One good thing about consultants and management is that consultants ideas are only good while the consultant is there. Once he's been paid a fortune and is out the door, they come and ask the people who actually work with the systems to fish through his ideas and pick out the ones worth keeping! Errr, that'll be none of them then? -----Original Message----- From: David James [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 29 November 2001 14:42 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Upper case alias? The consultant told your company that Win2K has a problem with lower case usernames? Did I understand that correctly? If so, that's hilarious... -----Original Message----- From: Boswell Tim [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, November 29, 2001 8:00 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Upper case alias? Apparently, W2K has problems with lowercase usernames. Not something I've heard of, but there you go. And the Exchange policy is 'a precaution against as yet unannounced faults' "Consulting: If you're not part of the solution, there's good money to be made in prolonging the problem" - Can't remember where I saw it, but it makes perfect sense! -----Original Message----- From: Neil Hobson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 29 November 2001 13:55 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Upper case alias? OK, and I'll come clean - I have absolutely no idea! Can't see the point of uppercase myself. Guess you could always type it manually in uppercase!

What I meant to say was "Independently Audited" :-) -----Original Message----- From: Neil Hobson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 29 November 2001 13:46 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Upper case alias? I do, but I'm a consultant and I'd hate to attack you further. :-) Neil -----Original Message----- From: Boswell Tim [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Posted At: 29 November 2001 13:44 Posted To: Sunbelt Exchange List Conversation: Upper case alias? Subject: Upper case alias? We've been attacked by consultants, and as a result management have decided that all Exchange accounts must be created in the following format: Display Name: Last, First < proper case Alias: LAST.F < all caps SMTP: [EMAIL PROTECTED] < lower case Does anyone know of a simple way to do this for new accounts? I'm not aware of a way of differentiating between cases for different names, and the alias has always been quite happy as Last.F for me! Any help greatly appreciated.
