Windows login doesn't allow, if username more than 20+ character

Hi,

I have the Samba PDC setup in Ubuntu 16.04 & joined the windows clients fine. But the windows 7 doesn't allow the users, if their login characters are more than 20+. I tried UPN format also ( firstname.lastname@example.com ), it didn't work! Can someone please help me!

To workaround this issue just type the first 20 characters of the password.
@ramin it has nothing to do with the password BUT the samaccountname limitation of 20 characters

Please check under the account tab of the user properties if the UPN is actually configured
