CONFIGURING


Renaming Active Directory and Notes users and groups
When you rename a user or group in the Active Directory, and there is a corresponding user in the Domino® Directory that was previously synchronized with its Active Directory counterpart, ADSync renames or recertifies that user or group accordingly. The server that is used for synchronizing the Domino Directory with the Active Directory is the synchronization server that you specify on the Notes® Synchronization Options tab.

About this task

When you rename a Notes user or group, all occurrences of that user name are updated in the Domino Directory and other databases by the Domino Administration Process on the Domino server.
