I'll try this... I'll run the policy update commands before attempting to
login, and I already am planning on copying over her profile just as long as
I can get logged in as her new username!
Thanks,

I've never had any problems...
Make the change, and make sure that the domain is in synch before she logs
in again.
Depending on her client operating system, she may or may not get a new
profile... If she does, just use the "User Profiles" tab of the computer's
properties to copy the old profile over the new one, and set the correct
permissions.
Let me know if you need me to expand upon any of this, or if you want a
script to force domain synchronization...

Subject: [windows2000] AD Change user name
Should I be able to change a username in Win2K AD Users & Computers??
I was under the impression (from the Win2K Server MSCE guide) that I should
be able to just change a user's username in Active Directory Users &
Computers if their name changed... But, I did this in the past and it cause
all sorts of problems!!!
For example, I had a user who got married and changed her name. So, I just
changed her last name and username to match... She wasn't able to logon
with the new username at all! I don't remember the exact order of what I
had to do to get it to work properly, but I know I had to remove her user
account completely and add it back in a few times plus a few reboots of the
server before I got it working.
The problem is, now I have to do this again, and I don't want it to be such
a trouble this time!!
Any pointers? Is this supposed to work, or does this just not work at all
in your experiences?
