How to create Name Rules when source objects have optional middle names or initials (4325607)

1. Delete your current Name Rules.
2. Click 'Add Script' and paste the following script:

 $GivenName = $srcobj["GivenName"]
 $MiddleInitial = $srcobj["MiddleInitial"]
 $Surname = $srcobj["sn"]
 
 if([string]::IsNullOrEmpty($MiddleInitial))
 {
    $answer = $GivenName + " " + $Surname
 }
 else
 {
    $answer = $GivenName + " " + $MiddleInitial + " " + $Surname
 }
 
 $answer

3. To handle duplicate names and add " 1" to duplicate object names, click 'Add Script' and paste the following script:

 $suffix = " 1"
 
 $GivenName = $srcobj["GivenName"]
 $MiddleInitial = $srcobj["MiddleInitial"]
 $Surname = $srcobj["sn"]
 
 if([string]::IsNullOrEmpty($MiddleInitial))
 {
    $answer = $GivenName + " " + $Surname
 }
 else
 {
    $answer = $GivenName + " " + $MiddleInitial + " " + $Surname
 }
 
 $answer = $answer + $suffix
 $answer

 4. To add more rules for handling duplicates, use the script from Step 3 and replace $suffix = " 1" with $suffix = " 2", $suffix = " 3" and so on.
