Solution

On a client computer that has the Azure Active Directory Module for Windows PowerShell installed, follow these steps:
  1. Click Start, point to All Programs, click Windows Azure Active Directory, right-click Windows Azure Active Directory Module for Windows PowerShell, and then click Run as administrator.
  2. Run the following commands and press Enter after each command:
    1. connect-MSOLService  
    2. Set-MsolUserPrincipalName -UserPrincipalName [CurrentUPN] -NewUserPrincipalName [NewUPN]
      Note In this command, [CurrentUPN]�represents the user's current user principal name (UPN), and�[NewUPN] represents the user's UPN that has a domain suffix that changed to the initial onmicrosoft.com domain.

      For example, a Contoso administrator might run the following command:
      Set-MsolUserPrincipalName -UserPrincipalName user1@constoso.com -NewUserPrincipalName user1@contoso.onmicrosoft.com
  3. Exit the Azure Active Directory Module for Windows PowerShell.
  4. Open the Azure Active Directory Module for Windows PowerShell again, and then run the following commands and press Enter after each command:
    1. connect-MSOLService 
    2. Set-MsolUserPrincipalName -UserPrincipalName [CurrentUPN] -NewUserPrincipalName [NewUPN]
      Note In this command, [CurrentUPN] represents the UPN of the user after you run the command in step 2b, and [NewUPN] is the original UPN.
