SharePoint User name changes not synching!!!

Hello folks,

Need some help- we have changed UPN & display name in AD & completed the user profile sync process. When I see the user profile on SharePoint central Admin console- the changed name is reflecting. However, when the user login to the site and check under My site settings- it's showing old user name. How can I fix this to reflect the new name changes in user's My Site settings display name?

Hi,

In some cases, details under My Settings may not be in sync with the AD / User Profile.

I suggest, if possible

1)  Delete user from the User Profiles

2 ) Add again.

 3) Then do the incremental user profile sync.

Thanks,
Vivek

Check in the profiles to see if profiles with the old usernames are listed for deletion. You would normally need to do a Move-SPUser to get the old profile to be used for the new username.

Hi,

In addition to the above two solutions, you can try the following: synching directly from AD

Set-SPUser Identity "domain\username" SyncFromAD Web https://xyz.com

$site = Get-SPSite SITE HERE
$users = $site.RootWeb.Allusers
foreach($user in $users){
  Set-SPuser -Identity $user -SyncFromAD
}
This will do ever
