Change user DisplayName attribute when synching from local AD to O365?
Hello, is it possible to change the DisplayName attribute of a user getting synched from local AD to O365? The reason is that in local AD our users have the schema: lastname + firstname. However...
You can certainly edit the sync rules, but don't forget that they might get overwritten with updating AAD Connect, thus causing all DisplayNames to revert to default. There's an example in the documentation: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/connect/active-directory-aadconnectsync-change-the-configuration#use-an-attribute-other-than-the-default

Yes, I do this all the time.
