That doesn't work - fails with error "dsmove failed:`-sAMAccountname' is an unknown parameter."

Here's what does work with two separate commands:

dsmod group "OLDGROUP-DN" -samid NEW-sAMAccountName

dsmove "OLDGROUP-DN" -newname "NEWGROUP-Name"

Your pre-windows 2000 group name was still Marketing after you renamed it....

Right. It would have changed had I used the "-sAMAccountname" switch in the command. The command would have been...

dsmove "cn=marketing,ou=groups,dc=my,­dc=domain" -newname "public relations" -sAMAccountname "public relations"
