Hi Rubix, I'm not sure what you mean, but HTH. A user in AD has the following names:
A. CN = common name = Name column in tools = RDN (e.g. Jack Brown or CN=Jack Brown) B. First name = givenName (e.g. Jack) C. Last name = sn (e.g. Brown) D. Display name = displayName (e.g. Jack Brown) E. User logon name = userPrincipalName = UPN = "long logon name" (e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED]) F. User logon name (pre-Win2000) = sAMAccountName = SAM name = NT name = short logon name (e.g. JackB) A and F are mandatory, the rest are optional. E and F the user can use for logon, interchangeably. The label of F includes "pre-Win2000", but it's a little incorrect, because you can use is practically anywhere in Windows 2000 and newer. The samid option of DSAdd is the same as F above, and it should work as a username for you (depending on what you mean).
