Rename Exchange 2007 Default Security Groups (Roles)
Hello -
I have a client that is interested in renaming the Exchange 2007 Default Security Groups to meet defined organization standards. I've seen that they can be moved, and based on the same information I would think that they can also be renamed.
I'm thinking, renaming the objects shouldn't change the SID, or GUID, but rather the DN which should result in a replicated change.
Does anyone have any experience renaming these groups and what impact might result?
Thanks!

Issue description: Rename the default security groups in the Microsoft Exchange Security Groups container
These groups have two unique properties: a well-known GUID and a distinguished name that can change
<Exchange 2007 Permissions: Frequently Asked Questions>
According to the sentence, the DN can be renamed
But if its a mixed environment that has exchange 2003 and 2007, please do not rename the groups below based on Preparing Active Directory for Exchange 2007:
Exchange Enterprise Servers (EES)
Exchange Domain Servers (EDS)
