Are There Risks in Renaming the All Users Group?

Before you make any changes, think carefully about why you're renaming it. You might get better results by just creating a new group instead of altering the existing one. If you really need to tweak things, you could always add the All Users group to your new setup without renaming it completely.

Renaming standard groups can lead to serious confusion for other administrators in the long run. It’s usually better to stick with the default names. Just don’t do it!

I highly suggest only changing the display name and leaving everything else as is. If you have any automation scripts that reference the group's name, changing that might break them. Honestly, I see no real advantage in changing the name.

The real issue stems from how people reference these groups. Microsoft tech functions based on SIDs and Object IDs, so the display name shouldn’t matter if everything is set up correctly. But if something uses the name directly, you could definitely run into problems. It might be worth doing a risk analysis on whether this renaming serves a significant purpose for your business.

Changing the name of that group sounds like a good way to discover hidden dependencies! It's like changing your primary drive's letter; technically feasible but bound to create issues down the line!
