changing a upn with dirsync in use

[chazzy2501]

argh! is there a GOOD way of changing a users upn? We've had a few typos in the usernames of pupils and I can't fix them, they're now correct in active directory but not in O365. How do I remedy this without deleting /force deleting accounts?

 

cheers

I make typos from time to time and have to do just this.

 

I use powershell and run:

Set-MsolUserPrincipalName -UserPrincipalName [email protected] -NewUserPrincipalName [email protected]

 

be sure to change the users email address and what not in AD first and then manually sync afterwards...you'll be notified of any errors by email at that point.

If you've not used Powershell with Office 365 before here is an article to get you started.
