Now the aliases have a underscore instead of these special characters, and the emails will no longer send because the username is based on an individuals log in id which still contains the special characters.</p><p>We have a web service with user information and we can substitute the username with an email, or for forms on SharePoint&nbsp;we can use the Active Directory names. Also we can do a replace on the special characters in the alias. </p><p>I am interested if others have run into this issue, and what they have done as a workaround. Also I have not been able to find any good documentation online explaining why this is an issue.&nbsp;</p><p>WHEELS&nbsp;</p>
