Hi, I think that there is no problem since they are different object types.Best regards Bourbita Thameur Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist: Windows Server 2008 R2,Server Virtualizaton

Hi, what do you mean with the attribute "name"? There are three diffrent attributes: CN (common name) displayname (displayname) SAMAccountname (Samaccountname used for authentification) the CN and the displaynmae are not a problem. But the samaccountname must be unique to the Active Directory. Normally if you create new objects the displaname is used for the samaccountname. So there might be a conflict in the end. regards Thomas Paetzold visit my blog on: http://sus42.wordpress.com

It should not pose any problem as they are different objects. However, with that said, I would recommend against it just to ensure that a problem doesnt manifest later down the road.
