Changing a display name of a user in MS Teams
I have changed the user's Display Name in Admin Console of Office 365 to Cassey Coetzee, she already did work in MS Teams as Cassie Coetzee. The new Display Name not coming through on MS Teams.
HelgeDV I find these very general timings:
On Premise AD --> Azure AD via AAD Connect: 3 hours (very large organization)
Azure AD --> O365 Exchange: 1-2 hours
O365 Exchange --> Exchange Addressbook: 6 hours
Azure AD --> Teams: Unsure actually, but well within 24 hours
Note: I had to quit Teams, and restart it in order to see display name changes. This is even after 48 hours of a change making it to Teams (checked via Teams web version)
Found a simple solution to make the new initials appear after name change.
Click the profile image in Teams, change image, delete image. New initials pops up.
Seems like the 'initials' are actually an image.
