Modifying Naming Attributes


 

The format for the users' Name, Display Name, Logon Name and SAM Account Name can be modified from here. To modify the naming attributes,

  1. Select the AD Mgmt tab.

  2. Click the Naming Attributes link available under General Attributes. This opens the Modify Naming Attributes of the Users dialog.

  3. Select the name format from the given options.

  4. Select the domain and search the users. You can limit your search to specific OU's of the domain by  clicking the Select OU link and selecting the OU's.

  5. You can import the list of users to be modified from CSV format or select the user from 'show All Users' list or Type a user name.

  6. From the listed users, select the users for changing the naming attributes and click Apply.

The change summary and the status of the modification can be verified.

 

Roll over the mouse over the icon to see the attributes in the windows native UI.

 

Note:

  1. Changing the Name format will change the name of the existing user account with all the other properties unaltered.

  2. Changing the Logon name and SAM account name may cause duplication, if one by the same name exists.
