SBS 2003 R2 Standard using exchange.
How can I change the user's last name and have Outlook reflect that change when they send or receive emails.
I've changed the user's display name in ADUC. When the user receives email, the display name (To) is correct; but when they send email, the display name (From) is wrong (old name).
I've also gone into the Exchange manager and renamed the user mailbox.


Thanks.
 
if it leaves your domain you will have to change the name of the mail box to have it show something else i believe.
 
Users e-mail address...the primary account in their AD properties e-mail tab. May have to uncheck use default recip pol for this. And sometimes rebuild/reapply the RUS.
 
Well, here's the thing, email doesn't have to leave the domain for it to show up wrong.
Let's say her name is Jane Doe
She changes her name to Jane Doe-Jones
Her email address is [email protected]
When she sends emails, the "From" field in the email is Jane Doe
But when she receives emails, the "To" field is Jane Doe-Jones.
I might just have to delete her mail box and make a new one.
 
Something in her Outlook prpofile on the local PC...does it happen on another PC?
