Renaming a contact by using XML

Use the RenameContact procedure of the Managed Active Directory namespace to rename a contact in Active Directory.

This procedure expects to be called with impersonate="1". The procedure impersonates the caller.

Example of a request that calls the RenameContact procedure

<request>
  <procedure>
	<execute namespace="Managed Active Directory" procedure="RenameContact">
	<executeData>
		<contact>LDAP://cn=Jo Brown,OU=Hosting,DC=contoso,DC=com</contact>
		<newName>Robert Brown</newName>  
	</executeData>
	<after source="executeData" sourcePath="path" 
			destination="data" mode="insert" />
	</execute>
  </procedure>
</request>

Important

Although Active Directory is not case sensitive for elements such as the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) path, XML is case sensitive. To ensure that the procedure executes appropriately, specify all tags, elements, and data using uppercase and lowercase letters exactly as shown in the XML examples. For additional guidelines on how to use XML, see the Microsoft Web site (http://www.microsoft.com/).
