I have read all of the simple responses to this question that are
currently out there:
-Use AD to rename the domain account- I have done this, first thing I
tried, it doesn't rename the mailbox
-Add an SMTP address for the new account name- Sure, this is a good
method of getting mail, but when the user responds, her old name would
still should up as the account name.
-Recreate the Outlook profile locally- Nope..this doesnt change the
Exchange mailbox name.
There were other suggestions that pointed to local Outlook settings.
This is an Exchange server issue. The Mailbox specifically. There
should be a way to go into System Manager and rename the mailbox, but I
do not see anything like this anywhere.
And of course Microsoft has absolutely nothing on this.
There has got to be a better answer than creating a brand new account
and wiping the old account.
Someone please help renew my faith of google groups!!
Thanks!
Think of ESM as a glorified GUI LDAP client :-) The information that is
displayed under the mailboxes is what Exchange gets from Active Directory.
Keep in mind that renaming a user account does not change the
legacyExchangeDN. Note - you don't want to change this! If you do, you
will break the ability for any other users to respond to old messages from
the user you renamed.
