SYMPTOMS
After you change the display name for a mailbox, the Mailbox column under Mailbox Resources in the Exchange Administration program still displays the old display name for the mailbox.



CAUSE
When you update the Display Name field in the mailbox Properties dialog box, the change is made to the mailbox entry in the Exchange directory (the dir.edb file). The corresponding change to the mailbox object in the Exchange Information Store (the priv.edb file) is not made until one of the following events occurs:
 * The client logs on to the mailbox.

-or-
 * A message is sent to the mailbox.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, log on to the mailbox as a client to update the Mailbox column in Mailbox Resources, or send a test message to the mailbox.
