The welcome name on a site is not changed as expected after you edit the name of a user profile in SharePoint Server 2007

Consider the following scenario:

• In Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, you add a user profile to a group.
• You add the group to a site and then log on to the site.
• You edit the name of the user profile.
• After the welcome name on the site is synchronized with the SharePoint Server 2007 user profile, you refresh the site.
  
  Note The default synchronization time is about one hour.

In this scenario, the welcome name on the site is not changed as expected.

To resolve this problem, install update 952294.
