Hi Guys,

I have changed my last names to capitals and its not effecting in display name

I run the below script made the changes in AD lastnames

$targetUsers = Get-ADuser -SearchBase “OU=India,DC=study,DC=com” -Filter {Surname -Like “\*”} | Select DistinguishedName, Surname  
$targetUsers | foreach-object {

set-aduser $\_ -Surname $\_.surname.toupper()  
}

now i want to change Display name as first + Last name.

Present Display Name is : kiran manne

So My Display name should be like = kiran MANNE

There is a DisplayName attribute, which you set with [Set-ADUser](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/addsadministration/set-aduser?view=win10-ps). The actual object name can be updated with [Rename-ADObject](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/addsadministration/rename-adobject?view=win10-ps).
