How to change your personal information in MOSS 2007

Description:
Remember how you had to scan through user information pages to get the correct display name. In MOSS 2007 this is more convenient. By default SharePoint will display 'domainusername' in the fields related to who was last participating in a document, list, survey, etc...
To change from 'domainusername' to show your actual name follow the instructions below:
Log into the Portal
Click the Welcome domainusername in the upper right hand corner
A drop down menu will appear
Click My Settings
Click Edit Item
Change your Name field and fill in any additional fields as necessary
Click OK
To verify your name has changed look at the Welcome message. It should say 'Welcome Your Name' instead of your domainusername.

dove dove , 3/16/2007 This tip is not for Moss 2007 but for WSS v3 ! It won't work with Moss !With Moss, you have 2 ways to modify profile information:1- on the ssp edit profile page (ony for admins)2- on my site, edit my profile |
Tuan Nguyen , 1/31/2007 It is good tip. However, I could not get it to work. When I click on "Edit" item, it shows me "domainnameusername" and it is uneditable. May be, I did not set any features on Central Admin ? |

Yasir Attiq Butt , 10/12/2006 Hey When i tried to change the properties by going to that page. All the propreties are hidden from me except The system account. I dont have active directory installation. I think it will only work with Active Directory user profile ? right? |
