You can delete a group account at any time. Deleting a group account has no effect on the corresponding group in AD.
When you delete a group account, AD users in the corresponding AD group immediately lose the roles granted by that group account.
When a group is deleted in AD, the corresponding HCP group account is not automatically deleted. However, the name of the group account changes to the SID of the deleted AD group. HCP group accounts that correspond to deleted AD groups serve no purpose and should be deleted.

Note: The System Management Console may not immediately reflect the change to the HCP group account name. To force the displayed name to change, you can clear the AD cache. However, this also affects any AD users currently using HCP interfaces. For information about clearing the AD cache, see Clearing the Active Directory cache. |
