Hi,

We have a SL user whom fortunately got married and changed his Last name(unfortunately), IT department instead of amending AD account have created a brand new account.

Now I have  somehow to re-link old SL user-id to a newly created AD Account, and change SL user ID to reflect new last name, and of course amend old historical records to a new user id.

Thanks!

    Andrew,

    You really can't easily change the SL userid as this is the key field for the table.  You have these options:

    1. Assign the new AD account to the old SL ID.

    2. Create a new SL account and assign it to the new AD. Give the new account the same groups as the original account.

    Hi Miguel,

    Why you are advising me to combine vendors? How is it related to user id and Active Directory?

    Thanks!

    Hello Andrew

    You could use PSTools to either cahnge a Vendor id or to combine two vendor number into one vendor.
