Resolution

goal
Which Windows NT account attribute will become the Active Directory CN Name when accounts are migrated?

fact
Domain Migration Administrator 6.x

fact
Domain Migration Administrator 7.x

fix
By default, Domain Migration Administrator (DMA) sets the Active Directory CN name to the Windows NT SAM account name when migrating from Windows NT to Windows 2000. However, if you import the modeling data, DMA sets the AD CN name to the Windows NT full name. The Windows 2000 Active Directory Users and Computers snap‑in displays and sorts objects by CN name.

note
This information is also available from Appendix C in the DMA 7.1 User Guide.
