For what it's worth, this works in 2019 too. Thanks.

Thanks Robert Awesome video! Super helpful. For Active directory computers, say we rename the user account and change the UPN Suffix. What additional steps are needed for the User Profile on a local device? We had an issue where upon logging in the user profile did not update and we manually updated profile path through Registry. We also have an older 2008 R2

I'd highly suggest against changing logon name. While windows will update the profile path on local windows installs, in my experience this will break 3rd party software and is generally more trouble than it is worth. Display name primary smtp don't have the same issues so I would suggest just leaving the name that they type at user login the same!
