Hi Tabrezz,

If you want to change the "display name" instead of the User Principal Name, you can try the follow steps:

  1. Install Office 365 PowerShell.
  2. Enter "Connect-MsolService" > Sign in with Office 365 global admin center.
  3. Create an Excel file with the following format and save in: C:\temp\Book1.csv

  1. Enter in PowerShell: import-csv c:\temp\Book1.csv | foreach {Set-MsolUser -UserPrincipalName $_.UserPrincipalName -DisplayName $_.DisplayName}

  1. Check in the user display name in admin center.

You can give it a try and share the outcome with us.

Regards,

Jared
