User has got married!!
A user in our office has recently got married.Is there an easy way to change all aspects of her profile(logon info,exchange etc)without too much hassle.Any help much appreciated.

Does that change her exchange details as well?

Just to clarify i would like to change her logon name and exchange email address and profile details but want to keep everything else the same.Hope this helps
Right click on the user in Users and Computer, and choose rename. This will guide you through the process of changing the profile properties. I usually still have to go into the Exchange Addresses tab of the user's properties to add a new SMTP entry for their new e-mail address, but using the rename function takes care of the rest. Going into the properties and manually trying to change them (like I did the first couple of times) is not the prefered way of doing it.

Does outlook pick up the users name from AD?Do i then just remove the service in outlook and recreate it with her new name?Sorry for my ignorance in this matter.

her email address is firstname@domain.com so i am more concerned about the display name that recipients of her email see.Does that make sense?
