User gets married, changes name & wants log-in changed



I'm sure I cannot be alone in this but I can't find anything addressing
this issue.

I have a user. She got married and changed her name (Let's say she was
"Jane Doe" and her log-in "jdoe" and her e-mail is "jdoe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx")

Now she got married and has legally changed her name to Jane Smith. She
wants her log-in & email to reflect these changes (eg: Jane Smith with a
log-in of "jsmith" and an e-mail of "jsmith@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx). I want all
her e-mail and documents and settings to follow her.

Do I simply just "rename" her user account in Active Directory and
"poof" everything is hunky-dory? I know better. I know on her normal,
local machine, she's going to get a new user profile and NONE of her
documents or local preferences are going to "move" to the new account. I
don't have a clue what will happen with her Exchange account when I make
this change.

Has anyone else done this? Do you have a "step-by-step" guide? Or is
there some knowledgebase document hidden away at MS support? I searched
but I can't bear to sift through the 100,000+ hits I get on "Change user
name".

Any and all help appreciated.
