how can i change the user display name. for ex when a user sends an email, the recipient sees the name as John and i want to know if there's a way where i can change the user's display name to J.Smith. We are using exchange 2003 server and outlook 2003 client i tried changing the user display name from the user properties changed the simple display name from the Exchange Advanced Tab but still showing the old name.

Isn't this a setting in Outlooks user settings and not Exchange?

No. The name is taken from Active Directory and Exchange/Outlook take it from there. You'll need to change the name there, or enable the "send as" permission to send the mail as a different user with the name you want.
