Bulk change of User logon name Pre Windows 2000 -- sAMAcoountName

Good afternoon Experts
I have a task to change the user logon name for all the users in my OU and eventually in our domain. Curently, logon format is A000001. A000002 and so on.  In AD properties for users, under Account Tab both User Logon Name and User Logon Name Pre-Windows 2000 have A000001 (Say for user Alan Jones).
Now I need to change logon account for all the users from A000xxx format to ABC000yyy. I have Tool from Dovestone which can import the data from a file and User Logon name but it cant change User Logon Name Pre-Windows 2000.
All the client system are on Win XP. But if I dont change the User Logon Name Pre-Windows 2000, it does not accept the new logon account say ABC00012. But it will logon with old account which is on Pre windows 2000 that is A000001.
I want a script which can copy new user account from "User Logon Name" to "User Logon Name Pre-Windows 2000" and hopefully after user can logon with new account name ABC00yyy.

If anyone has different opinion I can try that.

Thanks
