Two scenarios are possible: Editing the parent group, and editing subgroups with the company's Active Directory structure.
The first case is identical to editing a manual group. To edit subgroups, click the Edit group button in the group edition window.
It is not possible to change the name of the subgroups included in an automatic group based on Active Directory, as any change would break the correspondence between the structure generated in the Adaptive Defense 360 console and the company's Active Directory structure. Any change made would be undone in the administration console, re-creating the subgroup whose name was changed and moving computers to it.
