reflects the new name, and set it as primary...that way, all the new email

That would depend on how much integration you have with other
applications that use email to communicate. By following that
procedure you just made the person invisible unless the apps use only
a SMTP address or the legacyExchangeDN property value (or the object
GUID) to locate things in the GAL or the AD.

I'm about to change someone's name in AD and Exchange 2008. At my company we use the firstname.lastname as the user name for our users. Thus, i have to change the email address to use the new last name. If i leave the old SMTP address will the user still receive emails to both addresses?
