So much for seamless out there David.

Hey, I can send you the CAD program I wrote for the old C64 back in the early 80s to get you by for now!

Yea, the 38,911 K of available RAM in the C-64 would make a powerful system. And it can't get a virus!

Yup. He would make a good security conscious employee. Plus, if he hid it in a modern case he would drive the IT guys nuts.

No mouse though.

The IT guys can piss off. I go by the name David, I have for almost 49 years. Corp policy is firstname.lastname@. I just told them that's fine I'll receive email but will not respond to any unless they change that.

I love some forced corporate email names. One of my clients id Debbie2@company name.com There is no Debbi1 or any other at that company name. My personal favorite was the poor guys email came out as Dumpster@companyname.com I giggled every time I saw it.

Brent isn't my first name but I have gone by it all my life. Our policy is first initial last name @. Since I setup the accounts mine is bdolphin@ as my mother intended.

I no longer have the option of making those kinds of changes.

Is all of the corporate IT going to common core?

It will confuse people if the address is one thing and the signature at the bottom something else.

They could use some more depth in some positions.

Off to give lessons.

yep corp problems not mine. I get paid to sit here if the computers are not working......

And I don't care if people are confused about the email. I have 20 plus years of contacts that just won't know who the hell is sending them crap and will probably not respond to emails.

They wanted to do a policy of first initial last name, but we had several fathers and first borns with same names and lots of brothers, sister, siblings with the same first initials. When I first set stuff up I let people pick their email if the wanted. Our female HR director was cowboy. I have been my initials rkd on company and personal since 1990. In fact, I am rkd@mac.com for my apple id and rkd@gmail. That makes me pretty old.

What is really messed up is the norm is first initial last name, then some chick gets married. I can change her email address, but not her login because it's too much trouble to change her ID elsewhere in our records. And I've found changing default email address in Office365 it is best to export the users data, make a new account, import the users data, then delete the old one.

What is even MORE messed up the bright idea spawning IT department set up our AD as kimray.org instead of kimray.com because they didn't want it to be public. Now it causes all kinds of problems with logins and Office365.

Oh no, the IT director is sending out congratuations and thanks to all the IT staff for the email move and we don't actually start the final migration until 8pm tonight.
