Scripting an OU to reverse Last Name, First Name to First Name Last Name

Our AD is set up as First Name Last Name. We have to
import 500 users from another company and their's is set
up Last Name, First Name. This creates a problem in our
GAL. I have been having problems creating the script to
switch this. Has anyone scripted something like this and
if so, what are the proper commands?

.... As I understood you need to swap user FirstName and LastName how it
appears in the Active Directory Users and Computers OU list ...That means
you need to change the "name" attribute of the user account ...AFAIK you
cannot do it on the existing account ....A solution may be like this ...You
put all users being imported in an OU, say SourceOU, then run a script over
the OU which reads users attributes, swaps FirstName and LastName on the fly
then deletes the user account in the SourceOU and creates a new User with
the same attributes and reversed name in a new OU, say TargetOU ....A sample
script for doing this is below ...

Set trgOU = GetObject("LDAP://ou=TargetOU,dc=company,dc=com")
Set srcOU = GetObject("LDAP://ou=SourceOU,dc=company,dc=com")
For Each objUser In srcOU
strSAMAccountName = objUser.Get("sAMAccountName")
strName = objUser.Get("name")
arrName = Split(strName, " ")
strReversedName = arrName(1) & " " & arrName(0)
strLogonName = objUser.Get("userPrincipalName")
srcOU.Delete "user", "cn=" & strName
Set newUser = trgOU.Create("user", "cn=" & strReversedName)
newUser.Put "sAMAccountName", strSAMAccountName
newUser.Put "userPrincipalName", strLogonName
newUser.SetInfo
Next

.....this creates just an account with minimum attributes ...You can however
add necessary lines to get other attributes from the old account (before
deleting it) and to put them into the new one ....
