I'm moving user accounts from an old Win2000 machine to a new Win2003 machine. There isa username on the W2k machine that is 21 chars long. When I try to create it on the Win2003 machine, it is truncated to 20 chars. How can I create the the 21 char username on the Win2003 machine? |

According to everything I can find, 20 characters is the hard limit. - Hammer |

I've read that too, but I promise that on the machine I moved the account from, the account name was the full 21 chars long. I know it worked too, becuase the user stoped being able to log in after I moved the account to the new machine and truncated it to 20 chars. |

Was your old machine running Active Directory? An AD environment allowed you to use UserPrincipleName (I think it was called that...) to hold a longer name. - Hammer |

No AD, just a straight Win2k machine with User Manger for Domains. |
