Hi guys,

We are currently facing an issue that is rather big namely we have allready a domain built with W2000 now we want to rename that domain. for example ( current domain domain.nl )we want to rename it to ( domain.net) we allready search on internet but there isn't much information about this issue.

We have 2 DC on w2000 and 2 Exchange 2000 Servers.

We want ot keep the same active directory structure.

If you guys have tips or tricks please let me know.

Cheers,

gralhas@zonnet.nl

The alternative to in-place renaming is to create a new domain in the forest with the desired new name, and then move all the objects from the old domain into the new domain.
