Company has policy to allow only first initial and last name for email adddresses. Is there a solution that will allow us to change the format from XXX@, to first initial lastname@ without having to re-enter all of the user names? Thanks.

Hi there!
Go to Active Directory Users and Computers.
Right Click the user.
Select Properties.
Select E-mail Addresses.
Click New.
Select SMTP Address
Type the new e-mail address you wish to use.
Click Ok
Highlight the new e-mail address.
Click: Set As Primary.
Viola. The username remains the same however the e-mail has been altered.
It could be that the primary e-mail address changes back to the original address. If this happens, remove the check mark by: Automaticlly update e-mailaddresses based on recipient policy.
Good Luck.
