Trying to use ADModify to Change AD Display order for
existing users (www.msexchange.org/tutorials/MF023.html).
However, the zipped ADModify utility referenced at:

ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/PSS/Tools/Exchange%20Support%
20Tools/ADModify/

says it's invalid or corrupted.

Is this still supposed to be a legit means to modify AD
display names? Will it also modify the 'Name' column in
AD (not just Display Name)? The script I used previously
(KB Art. 277717) only changes 'Display Name' (not 'Name').
