Greetings!
The company I work for has a high turnover when it comes to personnel. This has resulted in them wanting to create user accounts based on function. Of course they want to retain the current accounts and just rename them. Due to the connection to the Active Directory I am aware it's not possible to just rename/change anything and anyone (like the User ID).
When reading the AX manual it says the "User name" field is optional so this lead me to believe I could freely change this. When I tried changing this for my own account the change was accepted. Yet when I tried changing this for another user, AX threw an error in my face telling me the user did not exist in the Active Directory. Can anyone tell me why this was? As far as I could tell from the manuals it's the "Alias" that's used to connect to the Active Directory and not the actual user name. Or is it not possible to change an existing account in the first place?
Thanks in advance.
