You can change that name, however be aware that anything that specifies that for logon may not be smart enough to realize you've changed it. Services that use that account would be the first that come to mind. Also, it is a coordination effort with the user and the webmaster account, so be aware of persistent drive mappings and so on.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be a big deal at all to change that to whatever you like and the mailbox won't be affected by that being changed (you should make sure that the mailbox alias, logon name, upn, and cn match as a best practice though.)

Hi all
I recently inherited a domain where one of the executives has a "-1" after the account name in the "User logon name (pre-Windows2000)", e.g. Lisa-1. This is a problem from the old migration from NT 4.0/ Exchange 5.5 to Windows 2000 /Exchange 2000. I located the account that has the correct logon name (an old webmaster account with no mailbox). Can I change the Webmaster account (Lisa) with the correct logon to a -2 (Lisa-2), change the proper account to the correct logon name by removing the -1 (from Lisa-1 to Lisa) and still have correct mailbox access? I realize that I'm probably going to have to reassign permissions to the network folders and I'm comfortable with that.
Thanks all
Russ
