Add and smtp alias for the new email address then make it the primary email address.<br />

You can change the useranme on the account from within AD and give the user the new useraname.<br />

That is all there is to it.

Hi<br />
<br />
I have a user on a SBS 2003 server network who wants to change their email address username, but keep the previous emails to the old address.<br />
<br />
I've read contradicting advice on the Net and on EE - some saying rename and others saying it's best to start from scratch and create a whole new account.<br />
<br />
Any advice appreciated! :)

Rename email account - Outlook on SBS 2003 server

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).

Exchange is the server side of a collaborative application product that is part of the Microsoft Server infrastructure. Exchange's major features include email, calendaring, contacts and tasks, support for mobile and web-based access to information, and support for data storage.
