No no no on the deleting the old ledn. This will burn you
all over, replies, calendar entries, meeting requests, etc. Why do you care what
the ledn is? Don't delete it. If you absolutely feel you must, then at least put
the old one into the proxyaddresses as a secondary x500 address. People
absolutely should be able to reply to the old name. It is the same
person.
Interesting using the DLs like that. Generally you want to
have people in as few security groups as possible to avoid kerberos token bloat
issues.

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:

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.

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 |
