Problem while creating login name in active directory.

Hi guys!

I can't create user-ids for Exchange server above 20 characters. For ex., for chandrasekar.krishnamoorthy, it is coming only upto chandrasekar.krishna.
Please have a look at the attached file.

Can we increase the length of the user logon name to 25 characters or more.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Thiyagu,

I must say, I wouldnt fancy typing in 25 characters for my username, but...

I dont know if this helps:

It is the pre-Windows 2000 username that cannot be longer. 20 characters is the max username in NT 4.0 and probably Exchange 5.5 since it is also "pre-Windows 2000".

I think this is hardcoded.

For Windows 2000/2003 you can use the whole
reallylongfirstname.reallylonglastname@email..com
as your login name.

Cheers,
Rune
