users objects have several names. common name (the value of cn attribute) labeled "name" in aduc. value of userdisplayname in script. assigned same value optional displayname attribute, shows on "general" tab of properties in aduc (displayname missing). cannot logon common name. the common name must unique in ou or container, not uniquely identify user. there users same common name in other ou's.

the "pre-windows 2000 logon" name (the value of samaccountname attribute) shows on "account" tab in aduc. must unique in domain , users can logon (as long domain specified). finally, users can logon userprincipalname. shows on "account" tab , must unique in forest. help?
