Updating Group logins on SharePoint 2013 using Active Directory Sync
Hello,
I am using on-premises SharePoint 2013. We are currently using Active Directory Profile Sync. We are using security groups in AD to manage our security in SharePoint 2013. I am trying to rename a group in AD and found that this does not rename a group in SharePoint 2013. I would rather rename the group rather than having to change over 100 entries across SharePoint.
I attempted using the command stsadm -o migrategroup -oldlogin DOMAIN\Username -newlogin DOMAIN\Username
It reports Completed Successfully, but alas! no change.
What am I missing?

Thank you for your comments.
let me clarify. I have a Group for example called DOMAIN\Group1 (group1@email.com)
I want to change it to DOMAIN\Group2
I rename the Group in AD, by right clicking the name and selecting rename
So I change to DOMAIN\Group2 (group2@email.com).
But When I return to SharePoint, I find that nothing has changed at all. meaning if I open the user group Group1 it still has all group1 details assigned to it. When I go in to SharePoint and attempt to edit the record, I can only change the display name.
If I use the Central admin profile editor (grasping at straws) and I cant find either group.
Does that clarify it for you ?

A little deeper, the SharePoint group name is actually a description field. SharePoint uses a group ID for internal processes. As far as the stsadm command, unless I misunderstand your questions, is not necessary.
Hope that helps
