Problem about ADSI user name change

I use the following code to change the username

Set oIADSUser = GetObject("LDAP://CN=AAA,CN=users,...")
oIADSUser.FullName = "BBB"
or
oIADSUser.Put "sAMAccountName", "BBB"
oIADSUser.SetInfo

However, I found the CN name cannot be changed even after I changed the SAM
account name from AAA to BBB. This user object's CN name is still AAA. In
other word, if again I want to change the name to CCC and use LDAP://CN=BBB,
an error would be appear and said the object could not be found. To locate
this user object I still need to use LDAP://CN=AAA.
Moreover from MMC of Active Directory Users and Computers, AAA still appears
in the Name column although the display name property of AAA was alreay
changed to BBB.

Why ? Is it a bug or ...

Any help would be greatly appreciated
