I am looking at renaming my domain(all NT4.0 servers and desktops.) I am scared to make the change without some help. I've read some about it, but can't find a good article on Microsoft's site to help me. I am running Exchange 5.5, Proxy, Terminal server, DNS...can you help me with the changes that will have to be made to make this happen...or at least point me to an article to read about this. Thanks.

Hi there,

I'd seriously reccommend avoiding renaming your domain. There is no technical reason why anyone would want to rename a their domain - that I can see.

If you have to do it - this article on technet should get you started -

Go to www.win2000mag.com. On the home page, you will see a window called "Enter InstantDoc ID". The following article IDs pertain to renaming domains: 4781, 4782, 4783, and 4784.

Their instructions on the Documentation is great. Re-Naming a Domain however is going to be more work than Re-Installing it. Better off NOT going that route.
