How will I know which username format to use?Look for prompts on the login screen that tell you which format to use. However, a simple rule is: if the site is a Microsoft managed site with a login that looks like this, you should use the long format (i.e. d1brown@royalroads.ca).  All others use the short format (like d1brown) unless otherwise directed. |
