Domain Migration

We have a Windows Server 2003 domain infrastructure and our previous attempt to rename the domain from original-domain.com to renamed-domain.com resulted in a failure, that the forest is currently misconfigured and any signs of the previous domain are lost.

I am planning to take over the whole process and do this myself.

There are two options:

– Create a new forest and build up everything from scratch, then migrate the AD and Exchange

– Use the Migration Tool over the existing domain and pray God nothing goes wrong like the previous time.

Please advise. Thank you in advance.
