Hi,
I have regular accounts set up in an OU that gets changed fequently. Instead
of resetting up different users for doing the same job and the same
permissions I change the log in name and display name and use the old
account. The display name will not change. Am I missing something somewhere?
I don't understand why the name displayed will not change. I'm using Advanced
Server 2000 if that makes any difference.
Thanks for any help. :)

Hi Mcorn
when you rename the account in ad do you just right click on it and say
rename?
if so do you also rename it for the logon name and for the pre windows 2000
logon name under the account information in ad?

Yes, I rename everything that I can find. I even change it were it says
Display and nothing changes. I can give the account to somebody and the
changed sign on works but if I need to look this person up I have to look for
the user prior. Hope this makes sense!
Thanks for the reply!
