Hi @O365 Buddy

This is the expected behavior documented in this link if the user is synced from on-premises to online:

Change in naming convention of user’s Name parameter

You can use the following cmdlet in Exchange Online Powershell to get the display name of the owner:

(Get-Recipient 60fb55ad-03e5-4a1c-b76e-59dedf9ef4df).DisplayName

Yes it does not work for on-premises.

Unfortunately to my knowledge Powershell will be the easiest method.

Recreating these users in cloud should also work but it takes much more effects in both Active Directory and Exchange.
