I don't think that solves Justin's original issue of the member server not updating the name it displays in the ACL list.
Not sure I've seen that before. And you can recreate that all the time? What version is the member server? Patch level, third party apps, etc? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Crawford, Scott Sent: Tuesday, August 30, 2005 4:47 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Rename User Accounts When I rename accounts here, I change FirstName, LastName, FullName, EmailAddress, mailNickName, samAccountName, userPrincipalName and clear the values for proxyaddresses and legacyExchangeDN and simply let them be regenerated. joe's[1] stated several times not to change the legacyExchangeDN because it will break the ability for people to reply to old Exchange messages and various other Exchange functions like meeting attendees and delegates. There may be other reasons, but those are the ones I'm aware of. However, my philosophy is when somebody changes their name, replying to an old email of theirs *should* fail since the reply is to the old name. In addition, if LEDN isn't reset, the old name shows up in the To: line in Outlook causing at least one lady here to complain that her maiden name was still in the system. It may be that we're in a small enough environment or that we don't leverage exchange enough [2] to have these issues be a major problem, but for several years now, this has worked well for us. One other thing I do (instead of creating an additional SMTP proxy address) is create a distribution group with the same name as the former username and add the new username to the group. All these groups are in a single OU. This allows me to see all the additional addresses for renamed users in one spot and allows for emails sent from offsite to the old address to temporarily work until the user lets me know that they're not getting anymore mails to the old name. [1] I hope the lowercase 'j' is appreciated since Outlook sure didn't like the beginning of the sentence not being capitalized. [2] I'm sure we're just waiting for them to straighten out the AD/Exchange permissions scheme. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Salandra, Justin A.

Sent: Tuesday, August 30, 2005 1:14 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [ActiveDir] Rename User Accounts I have a Windows 2000 Active Directory forest, Exchange 2003 and when I try to rename a user account I am able to. I can successfully rename the account and username, but when it comes to the users home directory, I cannot get the name the appears on the ACL of folders to show the correct newly changed name. I have forced replication, I have even removed and added the user account to the ACL of the folder but it will still not say the right name. For Example, Vasquez, Jackie was renamed to Vasquez, Evelyn and the user name was changed from jvasquez to evasquez. When I go to the ACL for a folder, the user is listed as DOMAIN\jvasquez and I cannot get it to change. What could the problem be? Justin A.
