Changing Users last name


scenario: users last name changes.  i go in , change last name in aduc's. (no ms exchange. user using login work machine)  

consequence: user no longer able login work machine, using previous login name.

 

what else in situation domain? go login new user (prepares profile), move files over, etc.  i know folder redirection thing not have in place yet.

ok, based on own testing... here found out:

looking @ example above...


user: jill.a.doe

configured in ad followed (user properties > account tab):
"user login name" =  jill.a.doe   @mydomain.com
"user logon name (pre-windows 2000)"   domain\   jill.a.doe

so both configured same above.  now jill changes last name smith, , user requesting username changed to: jill.a.smith

changing "user login name" field did nothing after changing.  windows came , said bad username or password.  now...

when changed "user logon name (pre-windows 2000)"   domain\   jill.a.doe  ---to--- "user logon name (pre-windows 2000)"   domain\   jill.a.smith,

i able use login, , created profile logged in.

so, basically, when last name changed, need edit field: "user logon name (pre-windows 2000)" , else in place should fine b/c sid has not changed.
