As we demonstrate in Step1, there is one more UPN, associated with each account - the Implicit User Principle Name. It's value is stored in the userPrincipleName attribute of the user account. ![]() The UPN which you see and which you can modify, in Active Directory Users and Computers or in Active Directory Administrative center is the so called explicit User Principle Name. That will consolidate the e-mail and logon namespaces so that the user will have to remember and use a single name. By convention, the UPN should map the user's e-mail address. The UPN is the preferred logon method, according to Microsoft documentation. ![]() User accounts in Active Directory have two types of logon credentials: pre-Windows 2000 (or the so called down-level) logon name, and UPN (User Principal Name) - Fig1.
