Hello, I have a question about the integration of Active Directory Security groups, and Sharepoint Permissions. We currently have most of out Sharepoint site set up using AD security groups, and i have been tasked with updating and re-orging the groups. That means I will have to be renaming most if not all to a new naming scheme. My question is, when I rename the AD group, will it auto populate the new name in Sharepoint, or will I have to go through and re-add them all? Thanks, ben

I believe SharePoint stores the SID instead of the group name, so the permissions won't break. But, you may see the "old group name" for a while after changing the group name in AD.

Hello,I rename a security group,two months ago, and still have the same "old name".The server was rebooted several times.What can I do to refresh tha data because I have in "Display Name" tha old name and in "Account Name" the new name.Thank You,Razvan

Did you ever find an answer to this? I'm having exactly the same problem.Thanx.

Profile Import?

No, Profile import doesn't refresh the "Display Name" filed.I still wait a "step by step" procedure for that!

You need to delete the old group name from the "People and Group" page, and add it again using the permissions page.
