User ID/E-mail Name Standards

by computer dave . Updated 16 years, 6 months ago

I’ve been with my company for 6 months now and have been fighting tooth & nail to create a few standards (like strong passwords, locking PC’s when not in use, turning off monitors at the end of the day). One thing I’m trying to change is the way User ID’s (and e-mail names) are created. The traditional method has been to use only the 1st name ie: jim, mary, bob so that e-mail names are jim@domain.com; mary@domain.com, and so on. I’m trying to move us to fname.lname@domain.com but it seems to be an uphill battle. Is this a good idea or am I nuts (always a possibility)?
Thanks!
~Dave
