Thanks to all for your input.

So the UUID is normal and not an artifact of my setup, that helps a lot.

My main concern is not the actual names of the folders, more that the UUID shows up as the username in a number of apps.
Antivirus uses it for the greeting in notification emails:-
    "Greetings D066D453-D96D-4D96-B0A5-6EFAA2611F92,"
User Photo displays the UUID in the dialogue box to change your photo.
User Account Migation uses it as part of the zip filename.

Perhaps any app developers reading this might like to do a search and replace for "OC_User::getUser()" to OC_User::getDisplayName() in their output?

I have a patch ready for submission to Antivirus and will see what I can do with others as I find them.

regards,

Drew

Hello Drew,

i had a similiar problem with the user data directories, but i fixed it with 
this setting (Using OC 5.0.5)


User Login-Filter
uid=%uid


User Home Folder naming Rule (LDAP Settings ->  Advanced ->  Special Settings)
uid




In your case it should look like this:


User Login-Filter
sAMAccountName=%uid


User Home Folder Naming Rule
sAMAccountName


Hopefully it works for you!

After deleting OC 4.5 and installing OC 5, the user data directories are now 
named with hex UIDs rather than the user login name that was there before.

Is this expected behaviour?
This string is also returned by OC_User::getUser() resulting in some strange 
greetings in notification emails and other places.

e.g.
data/83C6A05A-EF02-4911-AAAA-48EF868C1167
data/9CB311DB-D74B-4926-BC7E-94B3B3FE9323
data/admin
data/AF4680DB-CF4A-400A-983F-FCF28BD47964
data/D066D453-D96D-4D96-B0A5-6EFAA2611F92

I am using the "LDAP user and group backend" app for authentication against a 
Microsoft Active Directory database.

LDAP settings:

User Login Filter
sAMAccountName=%uid

User List Filter
objectClass=person

User Display Name Field
cn
I had a similar problem when I try to update with our owncloud. Their is a lot of modifications between 4.5 
and 5. OC want to have an UUID and, if their is not in your LDAP db, it create one. Normaly, you can force to 
use a specific field with "User Display Name Field" in "Advanced/Directory Settings" tab. 
Is it the case of your "cn"?
