When I initially set up my Active Directory tree a named my domain to internal.beckfoot.bradford.sch.uk because I had a web site hosted at an ISP with the domain name beckfoot.bradford.sch.uk, I now have my own Webservice and need to use the correctdomain name. How can I change my domain name without destroying my whole Active Directory structure

Is this not just a matter of DNS? Couldn't you just have your ISP change your DNS record to reflect your new IP address and leave your AD structure alone?

Once Active Directory is set up, you CANNOT change the domain name without starting from scratch.

Wait for a copy of Windows .NET Server. I believe they allow domain name changes in that. Until then, you cannot change the root domain
