Hi. I'm hoping this will be an easy one but I've been looking all over the place for answer and can't seem to find it.

How do you create a unique username (sAMAccountName) using Adaxes? I can easily get the software to take firstname.lastname as the auto-generated value of a user name, but I can't seem to find a way to generate if a duplicate already exists.

i.e. Jim Smith would be jim.smith
If another Jim Smith was to join the domain, I need Adaxes to auto-generate j.smith (or jim.smith1)
At the moment, I just get told that user already exists in domain.

Thanks in advance for any pointers in the right place.

Hello,

You can accomplish the task with the help of Business Rules. A Business Rule triggered before user creation can check whether the username of a new user is unique and modify it, if necessary. Take a look at the following tutorial for instructions on how you can accomplish your task: http://www.adaxes.com/tutorials_Simplif ... Script.htm. In Example 2 on step 5 of the tutorial, you will find information on how to automatically add a digit if a username is not unique.

Perfect.
