Renaming AD accounts


Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

When renaming an account is it best to just create a new AD account instead. As I know when renaming anything on the CN and with LDAP tying in with different systems such as BES, its better to recreate the account. Is this correct? How would you usually go about this?

Hi,

 

So, if you have 1 dc you will have less problem. First of all be sure that the object is not used by nobody (best thing is to restart the DC), when sure, rename it and wait until the resync of the DC (even if there's only one). When finished you should be able to use the new name.

 

As you said before, the best thing is to recreate the object, I do the same thing because I'm sure it will work. If you have to rename something, follow the procedure above.
