School boy error (by me or by MS? you can decide). The out of the box templates have illegal characters in their names, and I missed the lovely red box that was pointing at the error. Get rid of the illegal character and the save button is activated.

Lloyd AdamsCould you really rename these protection templates. I cannot rename them, it always tells me the new template name already exists, regardless what weird name i give it.
Did you rename them in the UI? or with PowerShell?
this is a real pain! Any help appreciated.

Thanks,
Franck

  Franck1304I edited then in the UI, not PowerShell. Clicked on the templates that are now in grey in the image below. Simply removed the illegal character and saved. Not sure what else I can say really to help.
