Changed AD username, but old username still shows on some file permission entries.

we running windows 2003 ad environment netapp fas2020 filer shared storage.

yesterday, changed username of 1 of our employees have done many others in past.

i changed name of user's home directory , changed location of home folder in 'profile' tab of object's ad properties.

the issue when go view or edit security settings on user's home directory, entries stored under old username.  if remove entry , readd new username, reappears under old username.  if add folder did not have explicit access, correctly adds new username.  if view settings machine, same issue occurs.

another thing note username appears in security tab "domain\oldusername" whereas other users appear "domain\oldusername (username@domain.com).  imagine because old username not exist , has no email address.

i'm not sure if issue our netapp filer or our ad environment.  know of ntfs permissions (correct me if wrong), sid stored in filesystem netapp knows nothing of username.  sid resolution being cached somewhere or failing @ point?

i need create new user old username of above user, don't want until straightened out.

any appreciated.

thanks.

as far understand, sid name translation on netapp handled by cifs lookups. 1 possibility cache containing these lookups stale - need clear it. ad not replicating , netapp communicates with a dc has stale user info...
