As I can see it (and the way I've been told this was done here previously) is that a new company is created, people who belong to the 'old' company are set to the new company, tickets are set to the new company, and user access restrictions are set to both companies (in case something was missed). We're doing it Friday- there are four of us working on it- one for each company that needs to be renamed, so it hopefully won't take too long. Thanks!

Chris, did you use some automated setup for this; perhaps one of the ITSM data import utilities? Or are there other concerns that that approach would miss or mishandle?

I remember them telling us to do that in class, because you can change the nickname whenever you want with no real impact, but you cannot change the name without having to redo your entire config data, because all of the records for Company A have that hard-coded in them.

It's not something you can just do from the company form obviously...has anyone had any experience trying this? Will I just end up having to create new companies and setting all the people associated with the old ones to the new companies?
