How to rename user (change username) in View 4.5 ?

I have user John Doe with username jdoe.

When I change username in AD from jdoe to let's say jdoe123 it all works fine (user can log into the desktop), except that view admin (inventory tab) still shows usernam jdoe instead of jdoe123.
Also If I want manually assign this user to a new desktop via more commands > assign user, there I can oly find his old username instead of new one.

I thought that view gets usernames from AD, but it seems that is doing some caching or something.  So how to fix this, I have already looked into ADAM db on view server but I cant find where this old username is stored ?

Best regards.
