ADUC display

[Andrew Mitchell]

Hi,
we have about 500 user accounts in an active directory that was originally
upgraded from NT4 to W2k.
All of the accounts that existed in the NT4 domain are displayed in ADUC as
their username, while those created since the upgrade appear as Firstname,
Surname.

Is there any way (through a script or any other means) to get all the
usernames to appear the same way? I don't care if it's username or
firstname,lastname. I'd just like some consistency.

Thanks

Use DSQUERY and DSMOD, an active Directory command-line tool, tip 6820 in the
'Tips & Tricks' at http://www.jsiinc.com to set the Display name of the
converted accounts to firstname surname.

Thanks Jerold. Just what I was looking for.
