Unfortunatly I don't think there is a easy Point-and-click way. You can do
an LDAP export and modify the ldif file with scripts the import it back in.
That can be risky if you are not familiar with LDAP import/export. I
suggest a test run.
The display name is generated at creation time, so the KB article you
mentioned will only work on new user creations.
