We are running Federated domain setup with AD accounts on on-premise and synchronizing using AAD.
There is an ask to rename AD Account or UPN.
Can some one please let me know what will be the impact if we change UPN and rename AD account?
Will the user get same access to his office365 services like mailbox/OneDrive/Sharepoint/Active sync etc?

He will keep access/permissions, however he should now use the changed UPN when prompted for credentials. His ODFB URL will also change, all files should remain intact though.

The UPN doesnt necessarily need to match any email alias, be it the primary or the "routing" one.

Hi Ivan,
Needed a small help –
Customer has Sharepoint Onpremise, Skype for Business onprem and Exchange Onprem.
SAMAccountName : Contoso\JohnDoe
UPN : JohnDoe@contoso.com
They now plan to move to office 365. However before moving to Office 365, they want to change the SAMAccountName as follows-
New SAMAccountName : Contoso\A123134
UPN: JohnDoe@contoso.com
Queries-
Appreciate any insights.

Hi Vinay,
You can change the SAMAccountName without any problems to Windows profile.
When you change the user need to login with the new one in PC, Exchange, etc.
Create a test environment:

Queries-
- Will their existing on-premise AD profile change when they login to the laptops after this SAMAccountName change?
- Any impact on their on-premise applications such as Exch, Sharepoint or SfB?
- Any impact on implementing an Exchange / Sharepoint migration if the SAMAccountName and UPN’s are different?
Appreciate any insights.
