Renaming virtual machine name and files in vcente5.0

$

I am using virtual centre 5.0 with build number 455964, and am in the process renaming a virtual machine name.  The display name is done but i want this reflected in vmdk, vmx files etc as well.  I have tried the various solutions where you do a storage vmotion to a new datastore but it only renames the folder not the files.  I have tried powering off and doing a cold migrate to another datastore but still it does not rename the files.

I read about an advanced setting in vcentre where you add provisioning.relocate.enablerename setting but i think thats for vcentre5 u2, and we are running vcentre5.0 only.  I did try this setting but no difference even after restarting the VC service.

The virtual machines have 3 vmdk files, and I have moved all to the same different datastore.

 

Any ideas on how I can rename the virtual machine files as well in vcentre5.0
