We recently had an outsourced IT provider configure us a new domain controller to replace an aging Windows 2000 Server box. The new DC runs Server 2003. However, they didn’t give it the name I specified, nor did they use the domain name I asked for.
We spent the better part of the day reconnecting each workstation to the domain, and renaming profiles so everyone’s desktop was the same. However, I really want to standardize on my own naming standard for the server and domain… the desktops I would like to rename as well (they all use factory standard names so its something like COMPAQ-343143B) but it will probably break a lot of things so I can ignore it.
Is there a way to rename the server and the domain without having to reconfigure every desktop again?
