Specific User out of sync with AD? update UserProfile via Powershell with Set-SPUser
Recently we had an issue where we had two web applications running on one farm , sharing the userprofile.
One username was changed in AD and User Profile successfully synced and updated this userprofile account.
When going to the one specific Web Application Site the user once logged in still had the old username as its welcome header.
After a couple of full and incremental syncs of the profile services it still did not update the users info for the specific site while the other site was perfect.
We then turned to powershell for its solution:
PS C:\Users\spsIntAdmin> Get-SPUser -Identity ourcompany32734 -Web http://storeportal | fl
Name : Isithame Usave 054423 ßOLD DATA OUT OF SYNC

First we confirmed it was out of sync by Get-SPUser
PS C:\Users\spsIntAdmin> Set-SPUser -Identity ourcompany32734 -Web http://storeportal -SyncFromAD
We then ran a update of the specific user to sync with AD
PS C:\Users\spsIntAdmin> Get-SPUser -Identity ourcompany32734 -Web http://storeportal | fl

Thanks PowerShell!
