[Ebola]

Yes there is a simple solution.&nbsp;&nbsp;Install one Netware 5 server, implement NDS for NT and manage the account through the Novell side.&nbsp;&nbsp;Sorry, just had to mention this as we have a mixed NT/Novell environment, and NDS for NT has saved us a lot of Administrative tasks that we would of had to contend with had we not decided to use it.&nbsp;&nbsp;Of course it requires one Novell server, but it does make the job easier.&nbsp;&nbsp;I did also mention that with NDS for NT you dont have to deal with Trust or trusted relationships as well.<br><br>Hope this helps. <p>Mark C.

ebola,<br><br>Try copying the old user ie maiden name in User Manager for domains, to the new user name.&nbsp;&nbsp;That will keep the same settings etc, but do not forget to manually create her user folder, as NT will not do it for you&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>As for the exchange side, just set her up a as a new user, but dont forget to add some aliases just in case people use her old name.. <p>Paul Ovey<br><a href=mailtoaul.ovey@avenue-legal.co.uk>paul.ovey@avenue-legal.co.uk</a><br><a href= > </a><br>

Go into Exchange and change the display name, users can't see anything else. Also go into the user manager and select the user, I believe there is a rename feature there so you don't have to play with securities. You will want to go into the email addresses and create another smtp address ans set it to default.
