Resolution

fact
Directory and Resource Administrator 6.60

symptom

The Pre-Windows 2000 name field in the Web Console does not display all letters in a group name when that name exceeds a certain length.



symptom

When creating a new group in the Directory and Resource Administrator Web Console, filling in the Group name field also populates the Pre-Windows 2000 name field.  There is a default policy in DRA called $GroupNameLengthPolicy limiting these group names to 20 characters.  If the default $GroupNameLengthPolicy is modified to permit more characters or if it is disabled, DRA will allow Assistant Admins to create group names longer in length.  When this occurs, the Pre-Windows 2000 name field does not display the entire name.



cause
This issue occurs because the text box control for the Pre-Windows 2000 name field is not defined correctly.
