Need ability to rename "My Company" in SEPM console

(re-posting previously requested item)

In the SEPM console today, it is not possible to rename "My Company" on the clients page. We would like to rename this to our actual company name, by right-clicking and entering the new name.

I wholeheartedly agree!

Besides the unprofessional (AOL-ish) appearance of the term "My Company", it makes identifiying the UNC paths for exported packages difficult.

Agreed.

Also it would be helpful when you look on the client, Help and support > troubleshooting, that it would show the full path to group the computer belongs to.
If you have AD sync enabled, and have long OU names, the name gets cut off when lookin on the symantec client.

I agree

I agree to this...I got so many request to change this..and makes impossible for me to make everybody understand...why so and why not..

Two hands up. I agree that we should be able to change it. I call "my company" is a dead root, I do not think most of the people can use if it is named like that and we could not change. Change it. The change we believe!

It is a good idea. There should be an option for renaming "My Company" if we right click on it.

It's the first question of my client when I demonstrate the console.

Hello,

I do would like to be able to change to my institution, so that it looks more professional specially SEP clients are installed on top/senior mangament computers.

I am assuming it may not fall on priority list of development team as basic function of protection is not affected.  But I hope they will get to it some time.

Sincerely thank you!

This has been a bone of contention since it went from Global to My Company.  I've never understood why it was changed in the first place.  In any case I agree with the idea of making this a variable field thus allowing the end use to pick the root name.

Agreed.

What's the problem? A Symantec Employee has posted elsewhere that this fix was in the works. Supposed to be out in the next release. So what's the excuse?
