Username difference between site collections

Question
In the root site collection of my SharePoint web application I see the username as first name - last name
, but in other site collections the username is displayed as DOMAIN\USERID
.
How can I change the settings so that all sites show the username as: first name - last name
Solution
I used this Powershell script to do a Active Directory synchronisation:
Get-SPUser –Web http://<URL> | Set-SPUser –SyncFromAD
