We also delete the exchangeLegacyDN value
as well so that it gets regenerated with the current username. This has
the downside of people not being able to reply to old emails from the person,
but I think it makes more sense that they can’t reply to the old
name. Also, I create a distribution list named the old username and add
the new username to it. In fact we do this in all cases instead of
creating secondary smtp addresses. It makes it easier for us to find
which accounts have multiple addresses and also allows us to add multiple
people to the same ‘proxy address’. On a side note, I always make the
distribution lists a security group on the odd chance that I’d ever want
to be able to use it as such. Is there any downside to this? It
doesn’t seem to cause any problems. From:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of joe Rename the account. Sam Name etc on the AD
object. Home Dir name (and if that is the share name, don't forget to change
that in AD as well). If running Exchange you will want to add
the old email address to proxyaddresses as a smtp secondary (lowercase smtp)
and set the mailnickname,mail,and primary smtp proxy to be the new email
address. joe From:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Christopher Hummert 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? Thanks -Chris |
