Find her name

Right click server blahblah.local or whatever it is

once the name is found

Her login will change also and you are going to have to tell her
For email address, add an smtp alias with the new email address.

Make the new address as the primary address so that the all the mails which user send will use the new address.

As we are not deleting the old address, user will be able to receive the mails in her old mail addrss too.



Login and Details, change in Active Directory users and computers.
