Environment

Harvest Software Change Manager all versions

Resolution

The husrmgr command line utility will get this done for you.  Here is an example of how it would work:

Starting with your list of users:

Created a tab-delimited text file with old name and new name for each of the users you to change:

Finally, run the husrmgr command to process the list:

The easiest way to build the text file is to dump your list of usernames into an excel spreadsheet, add a second column with the new user name, then save that to a tab-delimited text file or just copy the range and paste it into Notepad.
