DSFW
Situation
When I rename a DSFW domain user in iManager or MMC the user can not login with the new name.
How do I rename a DSFW domain user so that the user can login with the new name?
What attributes need to be updated when renaming a user?

Resolution
The attributes map to the following fields in MMC
sAMAccountName is the attribute used to authenticate a user from a XP workstation.
Example: user
userPrincipalName can be used for authentication on XP workstation.
Example: user@domain.com
In MMC change the 'User logon name (pre-windows 2000)' field to change the sAMAccountName.
To change the userPrincipalName in MMC change the 'User logon name' field.
In iManager or Console One go to the other tab and edit the sAMAccountName and userPrincipalName.
The sAMAccountName is restricted to 20 characters (assuming not character is not double-byte character)
