When a user changes their name, Users and Computers can be used to ammend their account updating email aliases and home directory paths at the same time.

Select the user and right click for menu, or choose Rename User from the details pane as shown.



Rename the user under the new heading, as shown here, surname to Bloggs.

Checking the Apply User OU Template box will fill out the corresponding requirements shown greyed out.

Checking the Retain any existing email addresses as aliases box will keep existing addresses as well as creating a new default address.



After the rename you can view the changes in user details.



Also review the Home Directory.



And under mailbox you can see the user now has a new default address and has also kept the original address.
