At the moment there is a Domain (AAA) and one NT4.0 Server with Exchange Server 5.5 (NT1)

Now the company is undergoing some changes and because of this, the server name and domain names are going to be changed.

So the domain will be BBB instead of AAA and the servername will change from NT1 to LOCATION1NT1.

When i rename the Domain or the Server Exchange services won't start anymore.

Does anyone have a solution for this problem?

Exchange server services are closely binded to the original installation (Domain), You should create a parallel installation for the new domain and then migrate the emails to it.

The Exchange databases and services have that information buried in them. You cannt keep the existing installation and change the server name.
