in Exchange 2003, under the Exchange General Tab, is there any issues I
should be aware of with changing the alias listed there?

I have an original network users whose alias is his first name (peter)
assigned years back when the company was much smaller. Since then we've
moved to First Initial Last name as the alias (i.e. psmith). I am having
a
problem with a network copier, which is setup to authenticate users before
allowing them to send a scanned image. I've never heard up an issue until
"peter" walks up the the machine and it won't authenticate him. I tracked
it
down to the following: if the alias is first name (i.e. peter) it won't
work.
If i change it to First Initial Last name the function works as designed.

Before changing the Alias name I want to check and make I'm not opening
myself up to more problems.

Thanks in advance
