I am signed on to my Windows 8.1 machine not as a Microsoft account but with a local account. Yet Windows 8.1 presents my email address as my "full name" to all applications that ask for it (i.e. installers etc.).
Why does it do that and how can I convince Windows 8.1 that my name is "Andrew Brehm" and not "myemailaddress@hotmail.com"?
Update: I also did a
$user = [LDAP]"WinNT://computername/username"
and then a
$user | Format-List *
but I cannot find where Windows even stores this email address it keeps using for my "full name". The .FullName field of this user is actually set to my name, but it's not used for some reason.
LDAP FullName != DisplayName. :) – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 – 2014-03-31T20:35:15.220
