should the existing users be changed automatically?
Hi all, Exchange 2003 SP2/Windows 2003 Currently, our user display name displays as FirstName LastName. Now, we need to change it to LastName, FirstName. I already changed the createDiag to %<sn>,%<givenName> accoring to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/250455/en-us But, the existing users in the AD stil shows as FirstName LastName. I can see that new user's display name will be changed if I create the new user. should the existing users' display name be changed automatically? Thank you.

No, they won't be changed automatically. You can use ldifde to modify the existing values - see the Using LDIFDE to modify... section of http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727091.aspx for more information.

Thanks for the update. I just need to change display name since I will not change the firstname and lastname. Any easy way to change display name? Thank you.
