What name did you change? Display name? User account name? First/last detail names? Exchange mail alias? Internet email address? Where/how are you seeing it not be changed? ADU&C? ESM? Outlook GAL? Outlook nickname list (previously mailed addresses quick pick in the "To" field)? Some changes happen more-or-less immediately. You may have to wait for AD replication, though. Some don't happen until the Recipient Update Service (RUS) runs. I forget what the default is on that. You can force an immediateupdate run in ESM. Some don't happen until the Offline Address List (OAL) is updated. That defaults to daily. Again, you can force a run in ESM. These are all safe. Outlook nicknames have some brain damage around them involving Exchange internals; if that's your issue, yell and I'll dig out my notes. If you do it wrong things break. -- Ben --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to listmana...@lyris.sunbeltsoftware.com with the body: unsubscribe exchangelist
