1What exactly do you mean by "localised user names"? Just the names or do you mean a different Windows UI localization scheme for different accounts? – splattne Feb 19 '10 at 12:06

Why do you have the security tag? How is that relevant to the names? – John Gardeniers Feb 19 '10 at 12:08

Do you mean light weight active directory[http://www.serverwatch.com/tutorials/article.php/3080681/Exploring-Windows-2003-Security-Additional-Active-Directory-Authentication-Improvements.htm]? – KMan Feb 19 '10 at 12:53

Yes, it's possible. In fact I set up accounts with localized names (Irish Gaelic) just the other week. Windows NT since version 3.1 has supported Unicode as it's native character set.

1although you may have to install the MUI Pack on a server that you cannot administer remotely if the UI is in a language or charactor set you do not understand. – Jim B Feb 19 '10 at 15:42
