The username is displayed that way by design. I'm not sure of the original reason as it was there when I took over the project as it makes sense in a intranet/internet situation and shouldn't be the cause of the user not being added to the group correctly (in all my testing). DNN just sees the AD user as any generic user that happens to have a \ in their username.

Ok, if that display is by design; It's not very helpful when running DNN in AD integrated mode because all the users are listed under the letter of the alphabet that your domain begins with. Not a big deal.

So I am left with the original problem. I have a pre-existing user, who is part of a pre-existing AD group. I gave this group rights within the child portal (by creating the group with the same name in the portal and granting the group view rights to a series of pages) and the user has not yet been added to the group. I have synchronize roles checked in the AD extension setup.

If the display name is that way by design, that's fine. It's not very helpful when running in AD mode, as all the users are listed under the letter of the alphabet the domain name begins with.

I am left with the problem of an existing group and an existing user. When I assigned the group to the child portal (by creating a new role with the same name) and granting that role view rights to some pages, users are not being auto added to the role in the child portal. I definitely have Synch Roles checked in the AD extension setup. Any suggestions as to what to try?

I know it's a pain and I've looked at trying to change it but would require some external scripting to adjust current usernames. Also in mixed mode or multi-domain environments it could lead to even bigger problems. If anyone has a solution I'm more than open to it. As for your existing problem.... I'll have to do some testing to see if I can recreate the problem on a consistent basis so that I can try to debug the code. Without that I've got nothing. Is it just one particular user or is it multiple users?
