Do any of you know how to set a default in Active Directory so that when I add a user with the Users & Computers console, it displays the user in the AD as "Last Name, First Name"?
For example, if I create a user with last name Doe, and first name John... it displays it as "John Doe". I would really like it to show up as "Doe, John" in the AD since it is MUCH easier to search by last name than it is first.
 
I have another question too that should be related. Is there any way to default other things, like email addresses? Like can it be smart enough to know that if I enter John Doe as a user, it creates jdoe@ouremail.com?
 
Thanks for any help you can provide.
