SYMPTOMS
========

In User Manager (or User Manager for Domains), it is not possible to rename a
Group. If you select a Group, and choose the User menu, the Rename command is
unavailable.

RESOLUTION
==========

To workaround this problem, copy the group to a different name and then delete
the original group.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT versions 3.51 and
4.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
