ADUC console use ANR (ambiguous name resolution) to display results: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/243299/en-us
When using VBS, you need to specify each attribute you want to return.
If you use recordset, you can write columns like this if you don't know which attribute is in the field.

For i=0 To objRecordSet.Fields.Count-1
	WScript.Echo "Field " & i & ": " & objRecordset.Fields(i).Name
Next

i don't think you understood me

i want to know how can i set the name column in the first picture with vbscript, wich attribute ?

Tasmant

as i answered, you cannot really change the "name" column in the MMC itself.
the name column represent any attribute from the ambiguous name resolution, and not one especially.

You CAN change the name that he is trying to modify, "YehudaT", within the MMC. I am guessing he wants it to read "yehuda Testing". This can be accomplished by simply right clicking on the name and selecting rename or alternately you can click; pause; click and you will be able to change the name that is displayed. However, this is not what he wants to do. He wants to be able to change this using a script cause I am guessing that there are several users who have this problem. unfortunately I am not sure which user attribute governs that.
