Hi

Not sure if this has been covered before, i have tried to use the search function but could not fnd anything about it.

The problem is this:
I am running Exchange Server 2003 with OWA and all is working fine. The problem came when i went to rename an existing account with a mailbox. For instance user name= test1 (test1@mydomain.com) was renamed to test2 (test2@mydomain.com), this all went fine and i only noticed the problem when using OWA to log into the account. I logged in using the new test2 ie mydomain\test2, i then go to send an e-mail which sends fine, but on the other persons pc the "From Field" says it has come from "TEST1" <test2@mydomain.com>.
I have checked all the fields on the user account and they all reference test2, the only thing i can think of is that it is picking the old name from the actual information store directly.
Is there anyway that i can change this and get it to disply the correct "from" name. Someone must of come across this as people change there names all the time ie get married/divorced etc.
Any help wold be apprecitated.
Cheers
