Microsoft Azure Administrator Associate AZ-104 Practice Question
You are an Azure Administrator for Contoso Ltd. A user named John Doe has recently changed his last name to Smith after getting married. You need to update his username and email address in Azure Entra ID to reflect his new name, while ensuring he retains access to all existing resources and group memberships. Which action should you take to accomplish this?
Use the Azure AD Connect tool to synchronize changes from on-premises Active Directory.
Delete John Doe's user account and create a new account for John Smith with the updated information.
Edit John Doe's user properties in Azure Entra ID to change his name, username, and email address.
Remove John Doe from all groups, create a new account for John Smith, and reassign group memberships.
To update a user's name and email address while preserving their access and group memberships, you should edit the user's properties directly in Azure Entra ID. This allows you to change the display name, username (User Principal Name), and email address without affecting the user's object ID, which maintains all associated permissions and memberships. Deleting and recreating the user account would result in loss of access to resources and require reassigning permissions. Similarly, removing the user from groups and creating a new account complicates the process unnecessarily. Using Azure AD Connect is only relevant if syncing from an on-premises Active Directory, which is not specified in this scenario.
