Title: How to append Domain, PC or a Custom string to the User Name in SES versions 8.6 and subsequent versions

Affected Version:

SES 8.6

Summary: Ability to append Domain, PC or Custom string to User Name has been deprecated from the SES Console UI, but the functionality still exists through direct change to the PackageSettings.ini file.

Issue: In order to keep the SES Console User Interface focused on most frequently used options, it was decided to remove the rarely-used prompts from the SES Console that relate to appending Domain, the PC (computer) name, or a Custom string to each user's User Name.

Work-Around: For those customers that still rely upon this functionality, the same effect can be achieved by opening and editing the PackageSettings.ini file, as follows:
[Package Settings] <-- Search for this section
AddDomainToUserID=1/0 (0 by default) <-- Setting this to 1 will add the Domain to the User ID
AddPCnameToUserID=1/0 (0 by default) <-- Setting this to 1 will add the Computer name to the User ID
AddCustomnameToUserID=... (empty by default, if set, appended to user name after @) <-- if set to a non-empty string, this string will be appended (following a commercial at sign @) to each User ID.

NOTE: A maximum of one of the above settings should be employed in any given PackageSettings.ini file.
