Rename a User (RenameUser.exe)

"RenameUser.exe" is a command line utility for renaming only one Username. This utility can only be used on an IMail or external database. RenameUser.exe cannot be used for domains using Windows NT or Active Directory as user database.

If you invoke "RenameUser" with no command line options (by typing only renameuser at the MS-DOS prompt), you will be shown the syntax required for usage.

Note: Renaming a username will also rename all associated lists, aliases, and collaboration user names.

Basic Command Syntax

RenameUser.exe [old_user@domain_name] [new_user]

Return Errors

• The user does not exist. The username does not exist within the domain entered. Be sure that the Username is correctly spelled.

  Important: RenameUser will only allow changing a Username within the same domain.

• The domain does not exist. Be sure that the Username and Domain name are correctly spelled.

Example:

Renaming "flip@mydomain.com" to "flop@mydomain.com"

renameuser flip@mydomain.com flop
