Introduction

REG is a command introduced with MSNP7

It is a Notification Server command, without either a request or response payload.

Renames an existing group. Replaced with Address Book Service's ABGroupUpdate in MSNP13.

Client/Request

REG TrID group-id new-group-name {0}

Where group-id is the group's identification number. With ABCHMigrated: 1, this is instead the group's GUID.

Where new-group-name is the name you want to rename group-id to. Has a limit of 127 bytes (URL-encoded characters count as 3 bytes).

Where 0 is always 0. Removed in MSNP10.

Server/Response

REG TrID {list-version} group-id group-name {0}

Where list-version is the new List Version. Removed in MSNP10

Where group-name is the updated name of the group.
