active directory user name issue

Question

hello

i have a user that log into is pc with the name "user1"

when i go look into the users folder i see the username is not the same

i see "user2" in the ad i see the login is user1 but in the registries i see in profile list user2

why is that ?

i know we change the login info before but the email is the same as before

Answer 1

If you have changed the user name for the user in question before, I think the folder for the user is kept with the old name...or perhaps the attributes haven't fully synced. Here is a bit on how AD logons work.

Answer 2

ok i will check that

but its not related to exchange account created that was using the other user as email ?
