Synchronizing Windows NT and Notes users
If your system includes Windows NT user accounts that correspond to Person documents in the Domino Directory, you can keep the information synchronized between the products. When you synchronize Windows NT and Person documents, these changes occur:
User synching also takes place when a Windows NT user is renamed in User Manager and Notes user synching is enabled. In this case, the "Network account name" field and the "User name" field in the Person document are updated, but passwords are not synchronized.

User synching does not register a Notes user -- that is, a Person document, Notes ID, and mail file are not created. User synching can only modify information in an existing Person document.

Note If an error occurs during user synchronization -- for example, a Person document cannot be found for the NT server -- an error message appears. Details on errors/status are also entered in the NT Event Viewer application log.

If you change the Windows NT user account name or the full name, run synchronization again. You should also run synchronization if you want to synchronize the Windows NT password with the Notes password.

User synching is successful if these conditions exist:
