Change Exchange mailbox display name

Tip:How To Easily Change a User’s Exchange Server Alias and Display Name Each mailbox has an Exchange alias and display name associated with it. The Exchange alias is used with address lists as an alternative way of specifying the user in the To, Cc, or Bcc text boxes of an e-mail message. The alias also sets the primary SMTP address associated with the account. Whenever you change the Exchange alias, a new e-mail address can be generated and set as the default address for SMTP. The previous e-mail addresses for the account aren’t deleted. Instead, these remain as alternatives to the defaults.  Tips RSS Feed Subscribe to theTechNet Magazine Tips RSS feed.
