Re: rename AD user account creates problem with autocomplete in Ou



I would hold off a bit more to make sure that your replication between domain controllers is working as fast as it should. You can use a tool called repadmin /showmeta "dn of object" and then get ldp dumps of the user object from both domain controllers to ensure that it is the same on both sides. For that object OABInteg is showing that in the active directory that users rnd portion has not been changed yet, so trying to email via legDN or by using the nicknames cache will fail.

I am not sure if you know how to use the DS Servers key on your Outlook client for testing purposes but if you do you can look at the OABInteg log to see what domain controller the first test connected too. Set the DS Servers key on your client in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Exchange\Exchange Provider, add a Value type: REG_SZ Value: servername of your other domain controller and run OABInteg again. This registry key will force your client to connect to and only that domain controller specified. Once this is done you can remove the registry key and compare the OABInteg results to see if the objects are the same or different.

Dave, I just discovered something that MIGHT mean that one of my previous
steps had already solved the problem, but maybe I had not waited long enough
for the changes to replicate from the server to the client. Not sure.

We have two AD user accounts that have/had the same problem, and all of the
various steps that I already did by myself before I contacted you were done
for the account that was in the AutoComplete as dpritchard <amazzarisi>. No
matter what I did, it was still appearing incorrectly which is what led me to
contact you. However, as of today that account is showing up correctly as
dpritchard <dpritchard>. Everywhere!

However, we still have jwalter <jgoulding>. I really don't want to re-do
EVERY step that I tried with dpritchard because I did A LOT and I don't know
which one was the trick. So, what do you recommend as my next step for
jwalter <jgoulding>?
