The consultant told your company that Win2K has a problem with lower case usernames? Did I understand that correctly? If so, that's hilarious...

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.
