Hello Mike,

Whatever you management decides, what kind of fallback should it be with two/three login names for the same only ONE time existing user accounts with it's unique Security identifier? If this account is locked out or disabled or the password is forgetten it doesn't matter which login name you use. It will be still locked, disabled or the password has to be reset.

I'll reply to you and Jorge at the same time!

We are a College and students can use their student ID or their social
security number to gain access to our systems. We don't want to take
that capability away from them. We have provided Live@EDU email for
those students and have generated student email addresses for them.
We want the student to be able to use their student ID (which a small
percentage remember), or their Live@EDU email address (which is
somewhat easier to remember, but not all students use their accounts).
We have social security number as a fallback position.

We are the IT department for the College, so we don't make policy or
make the rules. We just put the technology in place that upper
management demands. If there is no way to get the 3rd logon account,
then uppoer management will have to pick two of the three they desire.
But.... If I can give them all three, then why not? Simple solutions
are available when you have control of the entire situation. In this
case, I don't.

Hello Mike,

Why do you need multiple logon accounts for the same domain user?

Our users currenlty have the choice of logging into our network
using a userID we provide, or their social security number. One of
these IDs is the Logon name and the other is the pre-Windows 2000
logon name. We have provided those users with email addresses (not
Exchange-based email) and would like to give them the option of
using the ID we provided, their social security number OR their
email address as a logon name for desktop (Windows XP on a domain)
authentication.

I don't know of a way to enable a 3rd logon option natively within
AD. Is there a 3rd party tool that will give me the ability to have
more than 2 logon IDs per AD user? Thanks.
