Re: bad cn for a user. how to fix?

Hello,
Check the email addresses assigned to this user in AD...if there is
OUser@xxxxxxx then delete the email address from there and you might want to
uncheck "update automatically based on recipient policy"....restart the both
recipient update services.......try to rebuild offline address book.....and
then synchronize the OAB on outlook.

One of our users's accounts whose account name has been changed is still
resolving incorrectly in some cases.

On our sbs2k domain our users try to address an email to a new employee.
They begin typing in the to: field the person's name, the auto-fill / nick
name feature suggests New User <OUser>. Alas! Where OUser stands for
the old username alias (first initial, last name) before the account was
renamed. I've deleted the outlook nickname file / username cache file,
and it goes away until the 2nd time the user is emailed, somehow Outlook
reads the bad username back in.

I've triple-checked all the active directory user properties I could, and
I've never had this problem before. I then was looking at the to:
field "Select Names" user description at I noticed that the Name = New
User, but the email addres was:
/o=OURDOMAIN/ou=first administrative group/cn=Recipients/cn=OUser

Where can I change this? I can't seem to get to the root of this problem.
I am wondering if I have a corrupt AD record.

Irritated over small, yet persistant problems,
Thanks,
Joe
