I have an employee who has gotten married and wants me to change her Outlook
to refelct her new name. II would assume I would make a new profile, but how
do I do this without losing all her emails under her current ID and get her
contacts, etc into her new profile?

In a Windows domain? Simply change the name in AD U&C. You can modify the
email address or add an alias so that she will still receive the messages
send to her old address. Don't forget to modify the X400 address as well.

Gee, that almost sounds too easy
Yes, it's a Windows domain. So by changing her Active directory and x400
info, I don't need to make any other changes??? Seet!!! Thanks!!

Exactly. In Windows a user is nothing more that a number and even a more or
less hidden number to boot as well! (how impersonal <eg>). This gives you
almost complete freedom in naming and renaming your users since the
underlying unique identifier (the number) will always stay the same for that
user object.
