logon alias

[Paul]

Hi All,

I created a domain name that is non-overlapping to my Internet registered
name. Example: "companyx.com" is my registered Internet name and
"companyz.com" is my internal Windows 2000 domain name. When users logon
they logon with (e-mail address removed) which is different than their email
address of (e-mail address removed) . How can I configure the Active Directory so
that users logon to the domain with their email address. I want to implement
common logon standards so that new staff can use their common knowledge they
brought with them from their old company to use in this company.

Tks.

What you need to do is add a upnsuffix to your domain or the OU where the
accounts are (either works). To do this, open AD Domains & Trusts, right
click the top level, and goto properties. There you can add additional
suffixes.

Thanks. Tried it and it works. Can the user logon using both the upnsuffix
and the actual domain suffix. If not then how can I make it the default
suffix at account creation.

Tks once again.

Once you set a UPN, that is the user's UPN, it won't just use different things.
You can not set that as default. You need to specify it and it is easiest to do
that via script.
