How to rename an user correctly in autoit?

[Payback]

I'm trying to rename an user account in Autoit.

In normal situations, it would work with this code:

 

#NoTrayIcon
#RequireAdmin
$UserName = @UserName
$Password = 'idk'
$strComputer = @ComputerName
$NewUser = "someuser"
;Create UserID
$colAccounts = ObjGet("WinNT://" & $strComputer & "")
$objUser = $colAccounts.Create("user", $UserName)
$objUser.SetPassword ($Password)
$objUser.Put ("Fullname", $NewUser)
$oComputer = ObjGet("WinNT://" & @ComputerName)
$oNewUser = $oComputer.MoveHere($objUser.ADsPath, $NewUser)
$objUser.SetInfo

But when the user was renamed from the control panel, it changes the ADsPath correctly as you can see in the image I posted: But the user name in the logonui and the user account object in the image still stays at the old user name (usrname) for whatever reason. Could someone help me fix this problem?

thank you ad777 for the link but i figured out how to fix it myself

Did you use the method in the link posted by ad777, or another method?  It may be helpful to future scripters with the same need to know how you solved it.

Hello, spudw2k, i just used another method that involves changing a little bit my code (reconfigure the com objects in my code) and it worked.
