Effects of changing the Organization name
Renaming the OneDrive folder (actual path name) will not work as the client tries to "lock" the path. If the client is turned off, and then renamed - we will error out. You are able to change the friendly name of the entry that shows in file explorer, but note that this would not change the name that is accessible when navigating from command line.
The alternative here is renaming the tenant friendly name so the desired name can appear in all of the clients appropriately. However, we would not be able to smoothly transition for an already set up client. A client would need to a fresh setup, or be unlinked/relinked in order to handle the newly updated tenant name. Let me know if that helps!

Hello KailashNteam,
did you found out any found out anything regarding renaming the org name for OneDrive within the file explorer?
All described workarounds in this thread seem not to work properly and are limited to active end user involvement.
How can we ensure, that the org name is updated at large scale across an entire organization with thousands of users and devices?

gojo12 We found that only NEW OneDrive for Business "setups" were able to see the recently changed ORG name. We never found a way to have existing OD4B clients see the new name.
- jack_stars17 too bad that did not work. I didn't expect this to be so difficult to implement
