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.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Group Name (Pre-Win2k) - Is it important
We're making changes to group names in Active Directory. Is it
important to keep the Pre-Win2k names the same?
