GREP? Whats GREP! ;-)
Great idea - forgot about that one.
GP 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.
Gruesse - Sincerely,

Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Group Name (Pre-Win2k) - Is it important
Windows 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.
