Missing user logon name/domain after ADMT migration from NT

[sab4you]

We migrated our users from NT to 2003 using Microsoft ADMT. I created all our users and permissions as expected except for the logon name and domain are blank.

If you open active directory and check the properties of a user account and hit the Account tab, where it says user logon name, its blank. To the right of that is the drop down for the domain, which is also blank.

Below that field is the User logon name (pre-Windows 2000), which does have our correct domain in the first field, and the second field has the user logon name.

How can we replicate the pre-windows 2000 info into the user logon name fields?

The fields that you are referring to make up the "User Principal Name" or UPN. By using the ADMT, only the Pre-2000 account name will be filled out.

The only time you will need the UPN is if you decide to have people log into the network with their email addresses. There is no harm to the domain if these fields are not filled out.

If you would like to populate these fields, there are a whole array of methods to do this. The easiest way is:

1) Google search and download the AD Modify tool (created by Microsoft PSS)
2) Use the tool to populate the field for all user. (use %username% for the username field)
