Amihai,
You can use a variety of methods, but keep in mind that changing the CN
is effectively a move, not an attribute change. So if you need to
change a user CN, you need to 'move' that object, even if it's staying
in the same container.
In VBscript, this would be done through something like this:
set objCont = GetObject("LDAP://" & ParentDN)
objCont.MoveHere "LDAP://cn=" & UserOldName & "," & ParentDN, "cn=" &
UserNewName
set objUser = GetObject("LDAP://cn=" & UserNewName & "," & ParentDN)
objUser.Put "name", UserNewName
objUser.SetInfo
