Re: Users display name not updating

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

When you create a NEW user you enter the first name and the last name. You
will also see the Full Name will be <first name> <last name>. The diplay
name is derived from the full name.

So what you want is to change the FULL NAME (the CN attribute) because that
is what you see in ADUC!

The display name will only influence the view in the GAL
