Hello, I've run into some problems active directory and usernames. I noticed when I was trying to enter a name that was more than 20 characters long it did not take it. Is there a particular setting that I need to tweak to achieve this?
The maximum username length is 20 characters. That seems like a lot to me but if you need it longer, you may have to come up with a different user naming convention.
I can't imagine users not screaming like crazy with a 20 character username. How long are you making your passwords?
In case you are wondering, the maximum characters for a password is 127.
