I have a requirement to change a username in Active Directory from domain\testuser1 to domain\testuser2 But my concern is whether the new changes will be synced automatically with SharePoint so that I can login with new username i.e. domain\testuser2 without any problem?

If not auto sync then How can SharePoint profiles be synced with Active Directory?

Thanks in advance.

SharePoint will not recognize the changed sAMAccountName until the following is executed:

$user = Get-SPUser -Identity "domain\testuser1" -Web https://siteCollectionUrl 
Move-SPUser -Identity $user -NewAlias "domain\testuser2" -IgnoreSid

  • Hi @MSallal Thanks for post. For Login part I am clear but want to check Is there any Powershell or stsadm command to sync it? I found this link as well addressing the same sharepointdiary.com/2013/01/…
