Usernames in Windows domain (using Active Directory) and print server

June 8, 2004 8:23 AM

We've got a bunch of users in a Windows domain (using Active Directory) who will be renamed to a letters-and-numbers parent-company username standard in about a week. Instead of using "jsmith" or "janedoe", they'll now be known as "ABC1234" etc. (not my decision, BTW).

Is there a way to make a table or username mapping on our print server so that things sent to networked printers (all running from a common printserver host) come out with a full name or recognizable name on the cover/banner page?

I think there's something within the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) that can help. I found a knowledge base article concerning attribute settings, but it was a bit generalized.

Maybe one of the whitepapers at bitpipe.com or techguide.com can shed some additional light.
