Hello Keith,

Thank you for your post. Also thanks to Mote for the input.

The displayname is also a user attribute. You can use the new Windows
Server 2003 Directory Services commandline tool DSMOD.exe to adjust the
users' displayname in a batch file. This will be an efficient solution
especially if there are a large number of user account.

For more information about the DSMOD.exe tool, please run the following
command:

dsmod user /?

Or refer to Help and Support on the Start menu

Another solution is to coding an ADSI program. Unfortuantely, this

|You will need to edit the user-Display in the Configuration Container.
