should the existing users be changed automatically?
Hi all,
Exchange 2003 SP2/Windows 2003
Currently, our user display name displays as FirstName LastName. Now, we need to change it to LastName, FirstName. I already changed the createDiag to
%<sn>,%<givenName> accoring to

But, the existing users in the AD stil shows as FirstName LastName. I can see that new user's display name will be changed if I create the new user.
should the existing users' display name be changed automatically?
Thank you.

No, they won't be changed automatically. You can use ldifde to modify the existing values - see the Using LDIFDE to modify... section of

Thanks for the update.
I just need to change display name since I will not change the firstname and lastname.
Any easy way to change display name?
Thank you.
