UserName showing up as DomainName\UserName instead of Full Name in SharePoint 2007


I have seen a lot of people facing a problem in SharePoint 2007, where the UserName is displayed as DomainName\UserName instead of its Full Name. As a solution a lot of people are suggesting to setup the User Profile Synchronization service,



·         Navigate to Central Administration page (start > administrative tools > SharePoint 3.0 Central administration)
·         Select your Shared Service provider
·         Select user profiles and properties link
·         Select view user profile link
·         Find the account of the user and select edit
·         Make sure the Name field contains the name you like to be displayed rather than domain\username
·         Give it about 30min and test it out
Hope this will help all of you. :)
