How about Managed Preferences? Can those be safely renamed in JSS? :)

Sort of the same question I posed for Smart Computer Groups regarding renaming:

One thing that can't be renamed in 8.x that apparently can be in 9.x is a compiled image display name.
We had a "TESTING" appendage to our new compiled setup and I discovered that it wasn't utilized when I changed that. It appeared though that if you changed the name of the image in CasperShare/Compiled Configurations it would work OK. I think that because after I changed the display name and discovered the issue, I changed it back and it still worked. JAMF confirmed that changing the display name in 9.2.1 was not destructive.

Just in case you might ask that next ;)
