Tables 3.8, 3.9, 3.15, and 3.16 |
The tables claim that the maximum
length of sAMAccountName is 256 characters, which is correct in
regard to schema rules. However, Active Directory enforces also SAM
rules on properties that relate to Windows NT compatibility.
Consequently, the actual maximum length is 20 characters. |

point only to SN1. |

two steps, they will be blocked out. |
