In Exchange Administrator 5.5 is there a quick and easy way to change the display names on a large group of existing mailboxes from (First Last) to (Last, First)? I know about setting this for future users in Exchange, but thought there might be a 3rd party utility. I would rather not do the Directory Export. Thanks.

The directory export really is the easiest way to do this. Using the CSV file, this would be pretty simple. I don't know of a third party util that does this.

There are alot of Distribution Groups and I don't want to have to go through all the custom recipients and edit the membership. Is it true that after exporting everything I would then have to then delete the custom recipients from Exchange and then re-import them. Thanks.

I had to delete them first and then import them, because there was an error that the recipient already existed.
