Instead of having to recompute all the security, identity attributes, etc.
You should have tried this.
Create a new table with just the desired column (both names right) and an
integer.
Copy just the existing column's data, and the value of that row's identity
column to this new table.
alter the original table dropping this column
alter the original table adding the column back with the right names.
copy the data back from the temporary table.

If both the long name, and the short name, were wrong you might have been
able to shave down a step but since one was right the complicated it just
a little.
