After renaming an ActiveDirectory user, the old username appears in eventlog
Hi,
In a Microsoft Windows 2000 pur Domain, I had to rename all Active Directory user accounts from Userxx to his initials. For example User32 was renamed to ABC. I changed in "Active Directory Users and Computers" everything from user32 to ABC.
Now for example, when User ABC reboots his PC in his Windows Event-log "User32" did that reboot and not "ABC".
Is there somewhere else where I have to change the username?
Thanks for any help

On each user object, did you change the "User logon name pre-Windows 2000)" name too?
ASKER
yes, I changed the username on each object I could find, when I open tha user in AD
Did you change it in these two places?

Yep, I did that
Is this user logging in locally or are they logging into the domain.? If they are logging in locally, then they will be using a local account and you'll need to change the user attributes on the local machine too. If they're logging into the domain, the event should log with that info.

The user is logging into the domain, they don't have local accounts.
USER32 is the process that actually performs the shutdown on behalf of the user.
sounds like saved passwords for maybe a mapped network drive or something Paka.
