I generally change the display name to reflect the new name, add an SMTP address for the new name and then set it as the primary. Occassionally I will change the alias as well, but generally only if I am renaming the NT account (4.0) name.

I am running Exchange 5.5 on a 2000 server. The name alias are first name initial and then the last name. What is the best practice for a name change, such a new married user. Do I need to delete the mailbox and then create a mailbox with the new name or change the name in the original mailbox. The Directory name field spelling stays as the old spelling, will this cause issues down the road??? _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
