SAM Windows Groups name change

We have multiple AD groups to grant limited access for different teams to our Orion instance. We need to update the AD group name to be more descriptive. Is there a way to change the name of the AD group and the change reflect in "Windows Groups" or do I need to change the group names in AD and re-add, rebuild the group account in Orion?

As someone who went through exactly this exercise a few weeks ago thanks to a typo on my part when I first created the groups for our new poller I can say that unfortunately you need to create new Windows Groups with the new name once you've set it in AD. What would be awesome would be if you could duplicate&edit groups like you can with reports/alerts etc but it doesn't seem to be a thing.

Thanks for the response, Duplicate\edit would be awesome in a case like this and allow you to have a 'Master Group" to deploy from.

For anyone else attempting this. I spoke with Support and was provided https://solarwindscore.my.site.com/SuccessCenter/s/article/AD-Group-Change?language=en_US
This worked for what I needed.

I did think about changing it in the DB, but also thought that might have ramifications. Dammit. Pleased you got sorted though.
