hey there,<br />
<br />
I have a user that was setup with an incorrect &nbsp;spelling of his last name. &nbsp;I've since created an email alias and they just login with a different username to AD. &nbsp;I would like to change this to the right spelling but upon testing cannot login with the changed name only the old name. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
The other issue is that mail on the users iphone is not working possibly as a result. &nbsp;<br />

Please help.<br />
