Username showing ibsplc.com than domain\id in user profiles OR Enable NETBIOSNAME


1. Create a new user profile service application and start user profile sync service by associating this service application.
2. Create an AD connection to IBSPLC.com and import users.
3. Make sure issue is reproduced in this new service application.
4. Follow http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee721049.aspx#NetBIOSProc and make sure that on this new service application NetBIOSDomainNamesEnabled is set to 1. You can decide to change only this new user profile service application.
5. Disable My Site Cleanup job.
6. Restart user profile sync service.
7. Do a fully sync and observe behavior.
8. If the issue is not resolved then delete existing AD connection and create a new AD connection with same domain for new user profile service application we created for testing purpose.
9. Do two full syncs and observe the behavior.


$ServiceApps = Get-SPServiceApplication
$UserProfileServiceApp = ""
foreach ($sa in $ServiceApps)
  {if ($sa.DisplayName -eq "<UPSAName>")
    {$UserProfileServiceApp = $sa}
  }
$UserProfileServiceApp.NetBIOSDomainNamesEnabled = 1
$UserProfileServiceApp.Update()
