Are NT User Accounts Case Sensitive?

Comment:

Can you tell me whether NT User Accounts are case sensitive in Windows NT 3.51? I have a list of our company's user accounts in "User Manager for Domains" and some are all in lowercase and some all in uppercase. Is this how they would have originally been created and would they have to be typed exactly as seen when logging into the network? Thank you.

On NT 4.0 user accounts are not case sensitive but passwords are. I beleive 3.51 was the same way

Usernames are not case sensitive! Passwords are. But you should have a standard naming conventions, it just looks neater!
