Renaming AD Groups - Email Linked Groups

[mdrabble]

Title is slightly misleading as I know how to do this - this is more a question of what will happen if I rename them??

 

I have AD groups created as Email Distribution lists.

 

I don't want to change the email address - but I want to rename the AD group name only.

 

The reason behind the renaming is because I have 2 AD Groups with the same name but in different OUs

 

1 AD Group is for Email Lists and the other is for Papercut.

 

I would like to combine them but Heads of Department are funny who goes on which group - eg. they want some staff to print but not receive department emails etc and vice versa.

 

So if I rename the group to include the words email and print, so I know which is which - will that cause any issues for the email list??

 

 

Cheers

Can't see it being a problem. The address and GUID won't change. You might even be able to retain the original name (i.e. without including the extra word email) as the display name for it in your email system, provided the 'displayName' attribute is what your email system would use for that.

Thought that may be the case - thought I double check with more knowledgeable people them me
