Question:

My users show the logon name in the "name" list in AD- I would like to show last name, first name instead. I cannot find the appropriate attribute name to facilitate this. Thanks.

Answer:

Not sure what you mean by the "name" list. Active Directory user objects have several naming properties that serve different purposes. The common name (CN) is set when the object is created and is the relative identifier in the naming context. There also is the "samAccountName" which is the old style netbios name of the user. There is also the "name" property which usually is made up of the user's first and last names. This property can be changed to anything you want. There are others.
