Benefits
Good to know about this tool
Defines and documents naming patterns with placeholders for users, groups, teams, mailboxes and devices.
Because inconsistent naming in Microsoft 365 makes administration harder and encourages mix-ups.
- Define a naming convention for a new M365 tenant
- Document an existing convention for new hires
- Create an onboarding document for the IT department
- Keep patterns short — long UPNs are hard to type on mobile devices
- Align prefixes consistently across groups, teams and mailboxes
- Define the convention once and then apply it consistently
