One of the ladies in our office just got married and changed her last name. I opened Ad and renamed 'brosenberg' to 'bturnbull'. I also added her new email to the Email Addresses tab and set it as the primary. We still want her to receive emails from the old address so I didnt delete it. Only problem is, her old name is showing up in the Outlook directory. How can I change that? Does she need to remove her Exchange account in Outlook and readd it?
 
No, you need to change the AD username AND the display name as well. Look right through every tab in AD.
