SYMPTOMS
When you create a user with the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in, the Microsoft Directory Synchronization Services (MSDSS) service uses the Full Name as the login name, when MSDSS copies the user to NetWare Directory Services (NDS).



CAUSE
This problem may occur if the user id and display names are transposed.



RESOLUTION
WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

To resolve this problem:  Obtain and install Windows Services For Netware 5.0 Service Pack 1 (SP1). After Windows Services for Netware 5.0 SP1 installs, start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe). Locate and then click the following key in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSDSS\Parameters

 On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following registry value:

Value name: SamRename

Data type: REG_DWORD
