?Some people have noticed that the name displayed in the "From" field in emails sent from the uConnect Exchange server are not their preferred name, but instead is their official UCD payroll name. If you have a preferred name (i.e. "Bob" instead or "Robert", add or remove a middle initial, etc.) you can make that change in the UC Davis Directory and it will be updated in Exchange.
Here is the URL for making those changes:
http://directory.ucdavis.edu/listings/index.jpf?mothraid=edit
Just log in with your Kerberos user/passphrase and update the Display Name (and any other info you wish) in the Update Listing form. The yellow fields in the image are the Display Name fields that you will want to change.
The changes will need to be approved by your Department Approver (who will be listed at the bottom of the form) and then the infromation will be changed in Exchange and in the "From" field of your email messages.
Happy emailing.
