Hey I read your mind and posted a response prior to you emailing this or at least prior to me receiving it. :)   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Christopher Hummert Sent: Thursday, March 03, 2005 11:46 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Account Name Change Ok what about the new e-mail address that they would need? Suggestions on that?

If you can produce 3 picture ID’s, 2 credit cards and a reconstructed birth certificate, I’ll maybe change your name… Regards, Doug Stelley RIDDLE TIME:   A man filled an empty barrel.  It was lighter than when he had started.  What did he fill it with?      _____   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Christopher Hummert Sent: Thursday, March 03, 2005 3:00 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] Account Name Change   I recently had someone in my office get married and thus change their name. Last time this happened, I just created a new account in AD and moved the files and other important stuff from the old account to the new account. I was just wondering, is there an easier way to do this? Am I reinventing the wheel here? What do other people do in this situation?
