Renaming Subscribers

[cvain]

I'm surprised I haven't been able to find an FAQ on this, but what's the best way to rename a subscriber (and NT Alias) in Unity 4.0 and higher.

I can see the long way as deleting the subscriber, renaming the alias in AD and then re-creating the subscriber, but wanted to see if anyone had any better ideas.

Thanks,

Chris

Hi Jeff and company.

Do you have an answer to this question from July 8th ?

Thanks,

I think this same question was answered on another thread and this one was missed...

the best way to do this is to change the user's name and/or alias in ADUC and let the changes replicated to Unity's database - our directory monitors will pick up the changes for those properties and slurp them over. You can, of course, change the first/last/display names directly in the SA and Unity will write those through to AD however this is not allowed for the Alias field, you'll have to change that in AD directly.
