Hi thereI´m trying to use a function or custom expression to create the mailnickname and logonID for my users for example:UserName: Maria del Socorro Sanchez Lozano.mailnickname and logonID should be: msanchez@fabrikam.com (first_letter of the name + last_name)Somebody knows wich function can help out with this??thanks in advance

There are Uniqueness options in RCDC's if you want to allow the user to enter.if not, then you'll want to write a custom workflow activity with an enumeration activity to verify uniqueness. A description of how is in the forum.Eric

Maybe I did the wrong question, I just want to be able to create the user in that way I have a Oracle source with the complete name and using sycn rules I want provisionate AD with a right user.

You can do this in your outbound sync rule to AD if you already have the firstname and last name import in the metaverse.Create a new attribute flow with a custom expression like this one.LowerCase(Left(firstName,1)) + LowerCase(Word(lastName,1," ")) + "@fabrikam.com"I use the 'Word' function because, in your exemple, the name of the person seems to be 'Sanchez Lozano' and you want only 'Sanchez'.I use also the 'LowerCase' to change uper char in the name.

Michale's solution will work as long as you don't have any concerns about uniqueness...Eric

Right, but for my case the mailNickname is populate on outbound init flow.So if there's a problem for Exchange, a change can be made to AD.mailNickname can be used to the relationship criteria for the outbound rules with the sAMAccountname criteria.In the FIM portal, is the mailNickname a unique attribute, just like the accountName ?

Thnks MichaelIt did work great with the word Function.cheers
