261.0. "Massive username rename options" by MISFIT::KINNEYD (Aruba Bound Soon!!) Tue Mar 17 1992 13:44

    I have a customer who wants to change the user naming conventions in
    mid stream. Other than doing a 'rename account' on every user account,
    is there any way to accomplish this? Perhaps scripting or UDPing?
    
    I think I know the answer, but I'm usually better off asking.
    
    Thanks,

261.1UDP sounds a better betGIDDAY::SETHIMan from DownunderWed Mar 18 1992 01:5115
    Dave,
    
    Depends what he wants to change the usernames from and to what. A hack
    could be/may be found if more details were available.
    
    I would go for the UDP sounds like a much better idea to me because
    they are easy to write.  If the customer can write down all the steps
    to change the first user he can use that as a template to cut and paste
    the rest of the changes.
    
    Tell the customer that the advantage of using a UDP is that he could
    sit in front of the terminal and pretend that he is typing it all in. 
    Besides that a UDP is easy to create and check I hope !!!
