Changing a users UPN suffix is easy (as long as it’s been added – see below). There is some confusion about the User Login Name though. A few weeks ago I had a client that needed this done, (for an office 365 migration). But they had the added problem that some of their User Logon Names had spaces in them, they were in first-name{space}last-name fo...
Before you can add a new UPN suffix you need to make it available in the domain. Administrative Tools > Active Directory Domains and Trusts > Right Click ‘Active Directory Domains and Trusts’ > Properties > Add the new Suffix >Apply > OK. From this point forward you can add that as a new suffix for any/all users.
Using the same user as above, I’ve changed the ‘User Logon Name’, and added the new UPN Suffix to test.
Put simply it does not! To prove it I did some testing. The profile and home drive path of this user’s is set on the ‘profile’ tab of their user object. It remains the same after the User Logon Name changes. When these users were setup the profile paths and home drive paths were all set ‘on mass’, by selecting multiple users and setting the path to...
Confusingly users don’t log on with their User Logon Name (Usually, but they can if they wanted to) from all the way back to NT4 we have logged on with the DOMAIN-NAME\\USER-NAME format which uses the sAMAccountName, NOTthe User Logon Name. If you look at the very first picture at the top of the page you can see that below the UPN. Its called the Us...
You can actually authenticate, and log on with your UPN, (see below) This logs on as the user in the example above with the correct profile, and group membership etc. Though it’s not common practice to logon with a UPN. Microsoft Now Have a Very BAD HABIT of telling users, (and putting in their documentation), to ‘Log on with your Email Address‘ Th...
This is normal, don’t panic, a user does not have to have a UPN, if you are seeing blank entries that user was probably migrated via a script or tool into your AD, or simply was migrated from an older version of AD as part of a domain upgrade.
No, the local cached copy of the profile is still named the same as the sAMAccountName; And the roaming profile and home drive also stayed the same; WARNING: Just so I don’t do the same thing Microsoft did and ‘Make an Assumption’. Where changing the User Logon Names would affect youis if users were already logging into their machines with their UP...
Seriously who does this? I don’t even like spaces in folder names! Below is a PowerShell script that will search through AD and find users with a space in the middle of their logon name and replace the login name with firstname.lastname Change the values in red. Note: If you have users with spaces in their GivenName or Surname attributes in AD this...
In the script below I’ve targeted a specific OU, but you can change the $ou parameter to point at the root of the domain, and do all users at once if you wish. Change the values in red to suit your domain.

Change the UPN for the user. You have to specify the old UPN and then the new UPN. Set-MsolUserPrincipalName -UserPrincipalName test.someone@nianit.com -NewUserPrincipalName test.somebody@nianit.com. In my example I will change the UPN for test.someone to test.somebody.
Oct 5, 2015 · Rename all 'User Logon Names' to firstname.surname. Not ideal. Use an alternate login ID and set a custom attribute to host the new required name *** Email address is removed for privacy *** - I know this has limitations around the Alternate Login In.
Dec 9, 2022 · A few years ago, no UPN changes were synced from AD to AAD with AAD Connect / AAD Sync / Dirsync / (insert-historical-name-of-this-product-here). If you wanted to change a UPN, you would change it in AD, run a sync then have to manually change it in AAD by running the MSonline command “Set-MsolUserPrincipalName” to change the AAD UPN.
