Thanks Bonnie, that was my feeling also. I too feel it is an app issue, but wanted to get some opinions since I am fuzzy on this. The issue isn't the \, they are choking on my lastname then firstname. They are looking for FirstName first. I would be shocked that they cannot accommodate my way. Can't imagine my way is 'wrong'. It was just a choice someone made here before my time.

The \ is there to escape the comma that follows. Maybe their app can't deal with that? http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=101405&seqNum=7 From: Kennedy, Jim [mailto:kennedy...@elyriaschools.org]<mailto:[mailto:kennedy...@elyriaschools.org]> Sent: Friday, February 03, 2012 10:09 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: CN format question Having an issue with a vendor with some LDAP lookups. I certainly saw this years ago, but never looked into it. Our CN's are backwards from how most people do it I think. Is there anything wrong with it being this way? Why is that \ there?
