Change o365 User ID from Adaxes

Question

We noticed when renaming a user or changing the UPN it does not update in office365. I can change the username field by usign the following command from azure powershell module.

Set-MsolUserPrincipalName -UserPrincipalName mary.osgood@contoso.onmicrosoft.com -NewUserPrincipalName mary.smith@contoso.com

What is a good way to make this a seamless task for our helpdesk? Can adaxes do this natively without a powershell script?

Answer 1

Hello,

We have a similar suggestion in our product backlog, but currently this can be done only with the help of a PowerShell script. The following script executed in a Business Rule triggered after updating a user's UPN on-premises will update a user's UPN in Office 365:

Import-Module MSOnline
$o365ObjectIdBinary = $Context.TargetObject.Get("adm-O365ObjectId")
$o365ObjectId = New-Object "System.Guid" @(,$o365ObjectIdBinary)
Set-MsolUserPrincipalName -ObjectId $o365ObjectId  -NewUserPrincipalName "%userPrincipalName%"

To create such a Business Rule:

1. Create a new Business Rule.
2. On the 2nd step of the Create Business Rule wizard, select User and After Updating a User.
   
3. On the 3rd step, add the Run a program or PowerShell script action and paste the above script in the Script field.
   
4. Enter a short description for the script and click OK.
5. To run the script only when a UPN is modified, you'll need to add a condition. Right-click the action you've just added and click Add Condition.
   
6. Select the If <property> changed condition type.
7. Select the User Logon Name property.
8. Select has changed.
   
9. Click OK and finish creation of the Business Rule.
