2000 Server Username Case Change issues.

[chewyone]

Hi All!

I'm having a problem with my Active Directory on a Windows 2000 Server. We recently installed Openfiler NAS and although it worked fine, it wasn't picking up all the correct info from the Active Directory. After a lot of head-scratching, it has now transpired that Openfiler is case sensitive when synching with AD and if a user name is lower case in one area, and upper case in another, it can't tell that they're the same person.

So what I need to do is change all user names in our AD to lower-case, but I've just discovered that it won't let me do this. Every time I change the username case and apply, it just switches back to upper case when I check the settings again.

Apperently there is some little program or tool or something that will bypass this and let me change the case.. Anyone got any suggestions??

Thanks

Emily

Okay, problem solved. I just got told that if you add a letter to the username, apply and close. Then reopen, delete that new letter and also do a case change, it sticks that way.

Just tried it out and it works!
