Changing the default UPN

[Paul Fritz]

Olla,

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to change the default
User Principle Neame in a child domain. At this point the
default is the parent domain suffix. I have added an
alternate, and would like to have it listed as the default
when new user objects are created in my domain.

Thanks in advance.

Don't think that you can do this in AD Users and Computers, but you could:
1. Create a script for creating users. See
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/default.asp?url=/technet/scriptcenter/default.asp
for tons of sample scripts
2. Create a user template in AD Users and computers and then use Copy
function when creating a new user
