Hi,

Thanks for your post.

Do you follow the steps to rename the same?

And what's the error message do you get when you use DSMOD command?

For that purposes you can use Adaxes, which allows to bulk modify any user property using a simple GUI. http://www.adaxes.com/active-directory_management

It has a 30 day trial that should be more than enough to accomplish your task.

Hi,

The command DSMOD provides facility to change various attributes of a user account. However, I want to change a particular section of user account, which I am not able to do using DSMOD. I have attached the screenshots, where I have circled the value that I want to modify.

Request support as I need to modify this value in around 1000+ users.

Thanks,

Amit Jogi

Hi Mary Dong,

Thank you for the response.

I am able to use the DSMOD command to modify/rename First Name, Last Name, Middle Name and even the User Logon Name.

However, changing any of the above values does not modify the value that I have circled in the previously attached screenshot.

I want to only modify this particular circled value only, using DSMOD command.

Modifying this value using MMC is possible i.e. Right Clicking the user object and selecting "Rename" option. I want to perform this action using DS commands.

You may also reproduce this case in your environment so that you can get better idea about what I am looking for.

Thanks,

Amit Jogi

Hi Amit Jogi,

Thanks for your reply.

And I also do the same test which you mentioned. Get the same results with you: couldn't the change the full name (which you mean the part you circled )

And in my first post link, it also just introduces to change full name with Windows interface.

I suggest you post in Powershell forum to ask for if there's some way to change full name with scripts.

Here is the powershell forum:
