Users See Another Name in < >
We have a server 2003 PDC server and Exchange 2003 Server.
Some of our users have noticed when they type an employees name in the "TO" box to send email they get get something strange. They see the following: Actual Name <other name>.
For example say I'm sending an email to Joe Burns. I'll type his last name in the "TO" box and as I'm typing his name and Outlook tries to match it i get the following: Burns, Joe <MFarzoti>.
Users in AD are displayed as Lastname, Firstname and logon name is first initial last name. I've tried looking for MFarzoti and haven't found that person in AD. I've check Joe Burns exchange properties and he doesn't have any other users email forwarded to him. Joe Burns logon name is JBurns. MFarzoti doesn't even have a mail box.
At first I thought it might the .NK2 Outlook file but anyone within the company that tries to send email to this person sees the same thing.
I'm not too familiar with Exchange 03 or AD, any help would be appreciated.

We don't rename accounts to my knowledge, but I'm new here (6 months). From my experience here, anytime an employee leaves their account is disabled for a month then deleted. Who ever takes their place gets a new account.

obviously, you would use adsiedit to view/modify the current value.
