User name change   

What is the best way to address a user changing their name? I am running a 
Windows 2000 Active Directory domain with Exchange 2000. I have two users 
recently married and want their names changed on the network. I am aware of 
how to rename the accounts, but will mail sent to the old address be rejected 
if that is done?

Thanks in advance!

Re: User name change   

Good question, make sure that old email address is a Secondary SMTP address 
in ADUC under user properties-email addresses.  The Primary SMTP address 
should reflect the new name.  This all assumes the name before the @ needs 
change at all. For example, if the users email is by first name before the @ 
then no changes are necessary.  Once the Primary SMTP address is updated, 
all outgoing email will be stamped with new address.   After about a month 
or so, I would go ahead and remove the Secondary address.
