We are stuck in very difficult scenario.

We have a user U1 which has 2 email addresses in system [email protected] and [email protected]

Now Sharepoint has 2 users for this

i:0#.w|abc\U1

i:0#.w|def\U1

Now in AD when user first name is updated it updates 1 Sharepoint account the other one remains as it is. The problem due to this is, when user logs on to intranet he is shown old first name.

When i try to search for user on Manage User Profile page. It doesn't show record for the non synced record

Kindly suggest what could be done.

Thanks

    Does the user have 2 AD accounts? Are you using ADFS to log in?

You can force a resync with Active Directory info via SharePoint Management Shell:

Set-SPUser -Identity 'i:0#.w|def\U1' -Web http://test -SyncFromAD

  • It DEF an alias for ABC? Is it a permanent situation that the user can log in with both usernames? Or is it an option to merge accounts with Move-SPUser (technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff607729.aspx)
