Re: Change User's FullName
Hi Joe,
I want to change the CN (The User FullName), why ? Because User FullName (In
Active Directory) must be exactly the same with the Employee's full name in
the PeopleSoft (Human Resource Database), but not the DisplayName.
For example:
Your name in my company's peoplesoft should be Joseph Esomething Kaplan,
Under AD your Full Name must be equal, but your DisplayName could be Joe
Kaplan, understood ?
Well, thanks for your help!
Regards,
Victor

Re: Change User's FullName
I think I understand. You were just using confusing terminology from my
perspective since CN is just "CN" to me, not FullName. FullName doesn't
necessarily have any special meaning in AD attributes.
Note that CN allows duplicates (in different OUs or containers), so if your
PeopleSoft system is relying on that to be unique, you may need to make an
extra effort to enforce that in AD. The domain will enforce sAMAccountName
to be unique across the domain though.
