User Name Changes (Woman gets married etc) - Don't Populate in Out

S

So this is more of an annoyance than anything else, but when we get users
that get married and change their name, we change their name in active
directory, profiles, communicator, exchange etc all are happy with it and no
problems server side but their Outlook always still shows their old name at
the top level where it shows "Mailbox - Persons Name"...

I suppose if we recreate their outlook profile it would likely fix that, but
this isn't a good option for us as our users have GIGS of email (some as much
as 15GB's), tons of rules, settings, plugins etc that would all have to get
recreated - real pain in the butt.

Is there an easy way to get that to replicate and show the updated name in
Outlook?

Thanks!

You don't have to recreate the profile. Just change the name in the account
properties.

Except that you can't edit that...at least not that I can figure out how to
do...once the profile is setup it will only show you the name but it's greyed
out and not editable.
