Safe way to change a user's object name?

[John]

Hi.
Is there a safe way to change the "Fully qualified domain name of object" of
a user's account? (it's under the "Object" tab in ADUC.
We have an application that uses this and our admin spelled the name wrong
when created.

Thanks in advance.

Hi John,

In Active Directory Users and Computers right click the user and select
Rename. That way you can change the object's relative distinguished name
(RDN) which is part of the name you are talking about.
