Hello,

Has anyone considered the challenge of renaming Google Groups within Google Apps when multiple domains are used?  For example, rename gro...@mydom.com to gro...@myotherdom.com.

I have also opened a support inquiry with Google, but they may redirect me back to this forum in the end anyway.  Thought I'd get a head start on that.

Thanks,
Scott

Hello Scott,

The Groups Settings Api does not include renaming of the group from one domain to another domain. It actually does not expose the email-id of the group as editable field at all. Also, Groups UI supports renaming a group, but even that does not support cross domain rename right now.

Thanks,
Shraddha

Creating a new group and copying the membership over wouldn't be that hard. The tricky bit is updated all the access controls in other services that make use of the group address.
