Changing a Users Name

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Is there any documentation on how to change a users name is SL?

When a user gets married, we update their AD account, Office 365 and so for.

SL does not seem very straight forward and may involve updates to SQL as well.

So I am looking for a process/documentation on the steps how to do this.

    RE: Changing a Users Name

    Hi Bill,

    If you only want to change the Domain account, it's not to much a problem, you can go in the screen 95.260.00 and change the value Windows User Name.

    If you want to change the username in SL, personally, I'd prefer to create a copy of the user, since the primary key in the UserRec table is the username, it can cause many problems if you rename it.

    Maybe someone will have a better answer on a procedure which I'd be interested to see.

    Have a nice day,

    Alex.
