When creating a new school via the UMC, the name of the new school server is automatically checked. This name must not exceed 12 characters in the UMC.

The CLI scripts create_ou and create_dc do not check the names of the school servers, which is why a customer has already completely incorrectly provisioned his domain and now had to correct this.
→ the scripts should throw an error if this is tried. In addition, there should be a parameter/UCR variable to disable this limitation if necessary.

The reason for the length restriction is generally the Windows clients, which may otherwise shorten the host names and cause login problems. The UCS manual states that the maximum length should be 13 characters (I have currently no idea, why the UMC module is limited to 12 characters for the school name).
