Chaning login name

There have been some major changes here at work, and in order to keep up we
need to change some of the Group names in Active directory. Will the
changes that are made in Active Directory cascade down into SQL Server?
What is the protocol for this type of change?
Thanks,
DrewNo. On 2005, you can rename a login (to reflect the name change) using ALTER LOGIN.
