Apparently, W2K has problems with lowercase usernames. Not something I've heard of, but there you go. And the Exchange policy is 'a precaution against as yet unannounced faults'
"Consulting: If you're not part of the solution, there's good money to be made in prolonging the problem" - Can't remember where I saw it, but it makes perfect sense! -----Original Message----- From: Neil Hobson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 29 November 2001 13:55 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Upper case alias? OK, and I'll come clean - I have absolutely no idea! Can't see the point of uppercase myself. Guess you could always type it manually in uppercase!

I do, but I'm a consultant and I'd hate to attack you further. :-) Neil -----Original Message----- From: Boswell Tim [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Posted At: 29 November 2001 13:44 Posted To: Sunbelt Exchange List Conversation: Upper case alias? Subject: Upper case alias? We've been attacked by consultants, and as a result management have decided that all Exchange accounts must be created in the following format: Display Name: Last, First < proper case Alias: LAST.F < all caps SMTP: [EMAIL PROTECTED] < lower case Does anyone know of a simple way to do this for new accounts? I'm not aware of a way of differentiating between cases for different names, and the alias has always been quite happy as Last.F for me! Any help greatly appreciated.
