title: Renaming Azure Active Directory
body: <p>Currently I have an Active Directory associated with a set of subcriptions for the company I work at's Azure platform. However, the 'Default Directory' AD is on the domain <code>forenamesurnamehotmailco</code> where <code>forenamesurname</code> is an employee that no longer works here.</p>
  
  <p>My question is twofold:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Does renaming the directory from 'Default Directory' possibly break any links that are possibly hard-coded anywhere <em>(assume poor legacy code quality)</em> (connection strings etc.), or is it a superficial name that i can change freely?</li>
  <li>Does changing the <em>domain</em> name from <code>forenamesurnamehotmailco</code> to something else have any possible unintended consequences?</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Thank you.</p>
