Wrong Alias returned in TO field   

We have an account that had beed modified sometime in the past. Now, when 
ever you type the name or alias into the address field of outlook (all 
versions) it returns the proper name but the old alias. It becomes very 
annoying to see Angie <Brian>. Is there an way to correct this, or does the 
old account need to be deleted completely? And if so, can the email be 
preserved?

Did you change the name/alias/display name/etc entirely in ADUC? Absolutely 
sure?

If so, can you type in the *proper* alias and have Outlook find/autoresolve?

If so, delete Outlook's helpful suggestion for autocomplete (select it with 
your arrow key & press DEL).

Changed everything I could find, there is no reference to BRIAN anywhere that 
I can find. I also deleted the Suggestion from Outlook, but it keeps coming 
back! (It does get to the proper person, it's more of an estetic problem)

In ADUC, you're sure the alias is set up properly?

Using Outlook 2003 in cached mode? If so, sounds like an OAB issue.
