<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have an SBS 2003 machine and am having problems correcting the email address. <br />
<br />
The User's name is say John Smith - when I send emails from Outlook, the name sent is the full JohnSmith@domainname.co.uk<wbr />, when I want it to be John@domainname.co.uk.<br />
<br />
I have gone into 'Server Management' &gt;&nbsp;'Manage Users', clicked on the User Properties, changed email address on 'General' tab as well as going to 'Email addresses' tab and making John@domainname.co.uk the primary address and removing the JohnSmith one.<br />
<br />
The problem is that after 5 minutes or so, the settings revert back!<br />
<br />
Any help appreciated as its driving me nuts!<br />

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).
