Can johndo be programmatically ascertained or do you have a map file.
 
If programmatically ascertained by attributes in the userid then you can take a simple script from say technet scriptcenter or AD Cookbook and manipulate it to grab the proper attribute(s), create the new name, and then do the movehere command on the ids. You will need to keep in mind the possibility of duplicates and what you will do for them.
 
If you have a map file it will be a little more intense as you will have to read the file and then find the userids in question in the directory (unless you map full dn to the new name) and then do the movehere.
 
All of this can be put together from the content of the scriptcenter or Robbie's AD Cookbook.

What?  Like the ADC does?
 
When you say rename, what are you thinking of renaming?  Just the display name?  The CN? Both? 
 
 
Check out the scripts at Microsoft's script center for some scripts that will allow this (don't forget to write it out to a file first and figure out if you have any duplicates).

I have a client that would like to rename 1500 users in AD from first initial last name (jdoe) to first name last name (JohnDoe). Is there a utility or script that will accomplish this?
 
Thanks.
