For what it's worth, this works in 2019 too. Thanks.

I'd highly suggest against changing logon name. While windows will update the profile path on local windows installs, in my experience this will break 3rd party software and is generally more trouble than it is worth. Display name primary smtp don't have the same issues so I would suggest just leaving the name that they type at user login the same!

Interesting idea and a good suggestion. Some people who get divorced would rather not if it shows the old name however.

In my experiences renaming accounts in AD never goes the way you want.. I have seen people suggest creating email aliases and change the display names. Yest ask the user to "Deal With" Their pc login name staying the same. I can see how this would work when it comes to Legal name changes for getting married. However for the first time, I just got a user who has legally changed their name and pronoun's and I don't think They'll accept "Deal with Using your Old Username" now that you no longer identify as your previous sex. I know Microsoft never thought of that as being in issue when they created AD... So .. does your name change solution work without issue?? Or should I anticipate roaming profile / mapped drives / exchange issues if I rename their account?

Thanks Robert Awesome video! Super helpful. For Active directory computers, say we rename the user account and change the UPN Suffix. What additional steps are needed for the User Profile on a local device? We had an issue where upon logging in the user profile did not update and we manually updated profile path through Registry. We also have an older 2008 R2

Nothing you should have to do, but older systems could have that problem. It should be fine starting in 2016.

I hadn't thought of that. I'll have to take a look.
