GREP?
Whats GREP! ;-)
Great
idea - forgot about that one.
GPOs
are really a big point here - I've seen an enterprise going down because of
that.
GPMC
with backup / import (instead of backup / restore) might help here as
well.

Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Group Name (Pre-Win2k) - Is it importantWindows itself will mostly not have an issue if you don't. Some things that might are custom scripts, batch files, tools, applications, etc that you have written to use those names. The one place I can think of off the top of my head that might have an issue in Windows is if you have set up restricted groups and didn't browse for the group name and instead, simply typed it in, the restricted group may be specified by legacy name instead of SID in the policy files. You can easily find this by GREPping your sysvol with an ID that has suitable permissions to see all policies files for the string that represents the group name. If you know you have used the group that way you may also want positive affirmation that is isn't there by name by also GREPping by the SID.joe
