Renaming ADUC Security Groups

[gjacobse]

Can you rename ADUC Security Groups without breaking the linking to GPO?

I have some groupings that I want to 'filter' by, but to do so, I would need to rename the Security Group Names

I have

• Accounting Printer Deployment
• Engineering Printer Deployment
• Sales Printer Deployment
• Shop Printer Deployment

and I would rather have:

• Printer Deployment Accounting
• Printer Deployment Engineering
• etc

Should be able to. Group names are just identifiers there is really a UID that each group has that is actually linked to the GPOs.

Updated, guess we'll just wait to see if it broke anything. It's just printers so nothing critical.
