The User Information List Data not updated as same as the user profile data in SharePoint 2013 , noted that some user profiles in UIL can be found twice , one with the right data and the other with wrong one ,
so is there a solution for this for all the SharePoint farm site collections , as far as i know that UIL is built automatically for each site collection .

Hi @Jerry Xu-MSFT ,
about the below PS command ,
$web = (Get-SPSite http://site).rootweb
$web | Set-SPUser -Identity "user details" -SyncFromAD.
i have to replace http://site with the site collection name , also for " user details " i have to let it wiith no change or to enter something ,
and what about if i want to update the user information list data for one user only
Hi, @Mohamed Kandil ,
This PowerShell shall only update a certain user. The part -Identity is used for identifying the user who will be changed due to this cmdlet. It specifies the GUID, login name, or SPUser object of the user to be returned.
Usually it works like this:
More information here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/sharepoint-server/set-spuser?view=sharepoint-ps
it gives me below error
Set-SPUser : You must specify a valid user object or user identity.
At line:1 char:8
noted that while i tried to type the identity by the account "i:0#.w|my domain\user name" - it working fine with no errors but nothing updated
Hi, @Mohamed Kandil ,
This error may be shown if your web application uses claims-based authentication, but you specified username in command line arguments in regular Windows format: domain\username. In order to avoid this error try to use claims format for username: i:0#.w|domain\username.
If it does not work for updating, you can try to remove the user account with issue in UIL, and make end users to access again, SharePoint shall re-create items in UIL automatically.

Configure the user profile service to update the user information list.
Please follow the article to configure the user profile service.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/install/create-a-user-profile-service-application
Once the user profile is configured check the mange user properties, this will be populated latest information from AD.
Once this is done then it will automatically update the user information in the "User Information List".
if it does not update the user information you can use the below power shell command to update the same.
$web = (Get-SPSite http://site).rootweb
$web | Set-SPUser -Identity "user details" -SyncFromAD.
Hope this helps you to resolve the issue.
