Title
Browsing Active Directory object picker via the Change Auditor client results in duplicate or unexpected names on containers -
Description
When creating a search and browsing Active Directory using the AD Object Picker, some OUs do not have the same names as they do in Active Directory Users and Computer(ADUC). -
Cause
Further investigation may reveal that the name difference is due to the OU having the "Displayname" attribute specified.The Change Auditor Object Picker uses a generic function for all AD Objects that does not breakdown what to display based on the type of object. The function proceeds through a list sequentially to determine what attribute will be displayed based on first availability.For example:1. If there is a "sAMAccountName", then display the "saMAccountName".2. If there is no "sAMAccountName", then display the "displayname".3. If there is no "displayname", then display the "ou" attribute.4. If there is no "ou" attribute, then display "cn".5. If there is no "cn", then display "name". -
Resolution
WORKAROUND
Clear or update the displayname attribute to reflect the desired name.
STATUS
Enhancement request VSTS0012970 submitted to Development for consideration in a future release of Change Auditor.

Additional Information
To prevent confusion, it would be beneficial to have Change Auditor AD Object Picker behave more closely to ADUC display.
