Update and synchronize user names in SharePoint

Often - people change their names in the organization - getting married, getting divorced, or just decide to change their name because ...

For some reason, SharePoint can not synchronize the new names.



Here's a command  for a version of SharePoint 2007 and up that will help you


stsadm -o migrateuser -oldlogin Domain\OldUserName -newlogin Domain\NewUsername -ignoresidhistory

For a version of SP 2010 and up , With PowerShell


Move-SPUser –Identity "Domain\OldUserName" –NewAlias "Domain\NewUsername"


Enjoy,
Roi
