asked on Changing Active Directory Accounts
Changing Active Directory Accounts
In our environment we use employee ID as user logon account example: 199200,199201,etc...
We are planning to switch to first initial last name example Mjohns
so if Michael Johns now logs in with 199200 and rename his account to Mjohns, would that have impacts on his logon or on the applications, or the changes will be synched through AD, and everything will be fine ?
Any help will be very much appreciated.
Thank you

Are you saying the existing user profile (folder)name 999111 will be overwritten by Mjhons when he logs on ?
for home folder, in AD profile tab, the home folder is path is \\server\sharename\999111
though we could have set it up to \\server\sharename\%userna
well it is too late….Now that we will manually go back to each user in AD and change it, for instance:
\\server\sharename\Mjohns.
in this case , will the exiting folder 999111 be overwritten and will become Mjohns or it will create new one ?

Thank you Guys
because if a user has an existing profile as 999111 which is his windows AD login account,
then if I rename 999111 to Jsmith, I wonder if it will create a new profile or it will overwrite the existing one ?
I also have on each AD user account /under Proile tab, the home folder that is set up to :
\\servername\share\999111
I believe I will have to rename their existing home folders then change the profile path to:
\\servername\share\jsmith
