For point #3, when you say rename CI Classes, what part are you looking to rename. By chance when you created a new class, did you ended up with an InstanceId for a name? If this is the case, then yes this can be fixed easily. The fix to ensure that future class names are created with the name you want is also an easy fix.
You can use either a filter or activelink to generate GUID values for either your classes InstanceId or ReconId. The developer guide tells you the best level to create these values.

( I think the answer to this is "Create new CI Class, then import data from Old CI Class". I took a cursory look at how to go about this and it seems that this is going to be an extremely tricky/complicated process. Generating GUID at the right time, in the right place and propagating to other CI forms,etc. Has anyone done this? Done anything like this? Is there a BMC utility I am unaware of? It seems this would be something that everyone would want to do. Or - is manual relationship creation the best answer? P>S> - I have obviously not been to any CMDB Training for 7X.
