Azure Active Directory Connect - Directory sync Application
The full/delta sync and full/delta password sync are different.
"A full Password Sync, and a full Directory Sync are two distinct activities. A full password sync will synchronize password hashes for all synced users. A full Directory Sync does not trigger a full password sync. By default, there are two activities that will trigger a full password sync is completing the Azure Active Directory Sync tool Configuration Wizard.
You can also run the password sync script on your DirSync server and trigger full password sync.
After enabling password sync if one of the synced user changes or updates his password in AD then you will see 656 and 657 logs getting generated only for this user and the same password gets updated on Office 365.

This PowerShell command is supported only in on-premise versions and not supported on SharePoint online - Office 365 sites. The "Rename Managed Metadata" property name option is available only on on-premise versions as of now and it is not available on Office 365 sites.

Recommendation

As per my experience, I will not suggest doing this because it may affect your custom applications ( that are using SharePoint Managed Metadata). So, this is only a good option when:

While you need to rename and you are 100% sure that it is not affecting any custom solution.

If you are in the phase of building a farm or setting up first SharePoint Managed Metadata.

Steps Involved

Please use the following PowerShell in SharePoint PowerShell window. You can run this only using run as Administrator in PowerShell window on SharePoint farm and this needs to run on Application Server.

$metadataApplication = Get-SPMetadataServiceApplication -Identity "Global Managed Metadata "

$proxy = $metadataApplication.ServiceApplicationProxyGroup.Proxies | Where-Object { $_.Name -like "*Global Managemetadata*" }

$proxy.Name = "Global Managed Metadata";

$proxy.Update();

In this script, we are replacing "Global Managemetadata" with a new name "Global Managed Metadata".

Summary

Thus, you have learned how to rename SharePoint Managed Metadata Store name using PowerShell on on-Premise SharePoint versions sites.
