Long User Names causing issues with 'User Logon Name (pre-Windows 2000) when creating users.

Question

Hello,

We are currently allowing users to submit requests for new user accounts within the domain. By default, the logon name is being formatted as %firstname%.%lastname%

However this is causing problems when creating users with names that exceed the 20 character limit for the pre-Windows-2000 user logon name.

Is there a way to work around this?

Hello,

The restriction comes from Active Directory and is not related to Adaxes. To prohibit creating new accounts with usernames longer than 20 characters, you can set the corresponding restriction in your Property Pattern for the Logon Name property.
