I had a user get married and I need to change the last name on her account.
Thought this would be easy. Just right-click the user and choose rename.
Dialog box pops up and I make changes there also. I go through every tab in
ADUC and change it where ever I see the old last name. I go to her user
folder under the share "Users" and change that. Seems that I am done.
I go back into ADUC in less than 1 minute and the email address on the
General tab is back to the old lastname (using first initial lastname) and
on the Email tab, it added the old email address back and set it as primary,
it also has the new lastname email. I change the General tab info and delete
the incorrect email address but it keeps coming back. What am I doing
wrong??

Duh, I figured it out. Feel dumb now. Apparently I missed the Exchange
General tab, I didn't change the Alias and that kept changing the email
address.
