Does windows support logon names longer than 20 characters?

I am unable to logon with a greater than 20 character username.

We are running a win2k3 native domain with 2k and XP clients.

We are planning on changing our naming convention (due to an extra 35k
accounts)

thanks

Just curious as to why you'd *want* it....who would want to type in that
much every time they logged in? Come up with a standardized naming
convention for your whole company, such as
first initial surname
first initial, middle initial, first fourletters of surname.
Etc.

If you end up with two Jane Mary Smiths, one of them can be jmsmi2 . You get
the drift!
