I have been playing with this and used a dummy site name test). So now when I go into People and Groups it displays that. Where is this generated from and how do I change this to my actual company so everything gets updated, meaning when I click on People and groups it doesn't say:
Test Members
Test Visitiors
Test Owners

But sames my company or whatever I want it to.



TIA
 
You'll have to change each of the group names individually. Go to the group >> settings >> group settings.
 
From the main page? Site Actions - Site Settings - people and groups then settings-group settings? That kinda works. I can change Test Members but for Test Owners it doesn't cause the groups doesn't exist. Plus TEST is still listed TEST > People and Groups and other places. I guess the only way is to kill the site on port 80 and redo it. Was hoping to avoid this. There has got to be a way, if not its pretty stupid cause if another company takes over and wants things changed you would lose everything and have to start over.
 
I dont quite understand what you're trying to do. Are you trying to just rename your security groups, or rename the entire site collection?
 
Rename the sharepoint site. So when I got to my port 80 site and choose people and groups it says the sharepoint site: TEST. What I am looking to do is rename that to the actual company and in Groups on the quick launch bar instead of TEST Members, TEST Owners, TEST Visitors it would rename it to the actual company name when the site gets renamed. Not sure if you are following what I am trying to do. Hopefully this explains it better.
If I have to kill the site and all sub sites and start over I will but I just figured there would be an easier way.
