A. There is no application way to rename a global group, the onlyaction that can be taken is to create a new global group and copy the contents:
Start User Manager for Domains (Start - Programs - Administrative Tools -User Manager)
Select the Global group you wish to rename in Group area of User Manager
From the User menu select Copy or just click F8
Enter a new group name and description
Click OK
You will notice the content of the original group has been copied over. Youcan now delete the original global group but be careful, global groups areoften used in local groups in the specific domain and any trusting domains soensure it is not used anywhere prior to deletion.
In Windows 2000 you can rename global groups just be selecting them andselecting rename from the context menu.
An API exists, NetGroupSetInfo, which allows you to change its name withGROUP_INFO_0 and specify a value using grpi0_name.
