Question
-
I am wondering if a member posted a thread and claimed to be MSFT, shouldn't this person also display his/her name ?
I saw one with this signature. No name.

Hi,
I think that is a utility account that only posts FAQish summary posts. There have been several made in the PowerShell forum.
I don't believe that there is a hard requirement (even for MSFT folks) to include their full name as their display name.

The profile for that user says "Microsoft Forum Support Team". That sounds like more than person.
