Office 365 support advised on this and I did the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I added a new domain as above without the Ltd. To do this, I visited the admin centre, clicked &#8220;Show All&#8221; on the left menu, and then dropped down the settings menu, again on the left. I added the new domain, and also clicked the button to make it the fallback domain.<\/li>\n<li>I then selected users under the active users menu, selected my user, and then clicked the link for &#8220;manage username and email&#8221;. I then clicked the pencil to edit the primary username and email, and selected the new domain that I had just entered above.<\/li>\n<li>I did this again for all the usernames.<\/li>\n<li>I noted that when I visited onedrive, the URL root showed as &#8220;https:\/\/salientsoftltd-my.sharepoint.com\/&#8221;, i.e. it still had the &#8220;Ltd&#8221; in it. After searching online, <a href=\"https:\/\/techcommunity.microsoft.com\/t5\/sharepoint\/changing-our-tenant-domain-name\/m-p\/2468784\"><strong>this post here<\/strong><\/a> states that you cannot change this as it is the tenant domain name. It would mean creating a new tenant\/Office 365 subscription and moving all the data, settings etc. from the old to the new. As this was not a big deal, and as the support staff did not see this as a problem, I left it alone, and was happy that at least the username was corrected.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>After this was done, I found that onedrive could not see all the files and was concerned about lost files. I did note that under the user settings, there is a OneDrive menu which allows you to create a link. This in fact created a working link, but the main OneDrive link from the admin etc. continued not to work.<\/p>\n<p>Support advised just waiting a day to allow the changes to be resynchronised correctly at the server end. I did this, and it did indeed work out fine with everything working.<\/p>\n<p>I had also initially had issues with OneDrive for Windows 11 immediately after the change, regarding use of the modified username\/domain, and could not see the files. Again, this all sorted itself out after a day or so and everything was fine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As I was no longer trading via a limited company, I wanted to remove the &#8220;Ltd&#8221; references to my organisation and URLs in Office 365.
