To clarify:
In step 9, the snippet that should be set is:
%<sn>, %<givenName>
Somehow I added extra spaces in the last message.
Sorry,

Disclaimer:
If you munge your AD Schema by changing the wrong thing in ADSI Edit, you
are on your own. PLAY MORE CAREFULLY IN ADSIEdit THAN YOU WOULD IN REGEDIT!
1. Run regsvr32 adsiedit.dll .
2. Start Microsoft Management Console (MMC), and then add the ADSI Edit
snap-in.
3. Right-click the top node, and then click Connect to.
4. Change the Naming Context to "Configuration Container," and then click OK
to bind and authenticate.
5. Expand the Configuration Container node, and then expand the
Configuration node.
6. Expand the cn=DisplaySpecifiers node, and then double-click CN=409.
NOTE : 409 is the Locale ID for U.S. English. If you are in a
multi-lingual environment, you may need to make changes to the other codes.
Most of the Asian codes are already set. The International
Telecommunication Union (ITU) and International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) define the code pages. Some information can be found
at:
http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/bulletin/codes.html
or at the ITU or ISO home pages:
http://www.itu.int/home/index.html
http://www.iso.ch/
7. In the right-hand pane, open the properties for "CN=user-Display".
8. Scroll to the createDialog optional property.
9. Set the attribute to %< sn >, %< givenName >. Ensure that you click the
"Set" button.
NOTE : You can use any LDAP attribute name that appears on the Creation
dialog box; the other obvious attribute is %<initials>.
10. Click OK to close the dialog box.
11. In Active Directory Users and Computers, create a new User; the Full
Name (and thus, the Display Name) are built in accordance with your rule.
Hope this helps,

Subject: [windows2000] AD Display Name Generation
Does anyone know how to change the default display name generation in AD
from firstname lastname to lastname, firstname? I have seen it done before
but can't remember how to do it. Thanks in advance.
