Hi
I have a problem when I migrate users from my NT4 domains
to a 2003 active directory, I use admt to convert each
user and enable SID History.
When the user is migrated the CN value is set to Login
name from NT4 and is displayed as Name value in the MMC,
but if I create a new user trough the MMC the CN value is
set to Surname Given name and is displayed as Name value.

For me it's a good thing that CN = Login because all
other systems around the active directory uses login name
as the unique parameter, so I can easily do scripting
jobs to it.

How can I change the CN value after I have created a new
user manually??

Thanks in advance
Fredrik
