Hi, I have a server on LAN as BDC for domain "abc" & need to change it to another domain "xyz" thru the internet (remotely). Now I have two NICs in it, one for my internal network & other for external internet access. Any way I can do it so that this server can authticate my users here for a domain thats remote.

It's unfortunate that you do not have a remote console ie. Terminal Services to do the change with. You can always trust the two domains and that would allow the BDC to authenticate users on abc that need to participate on the xyz domain. Once thetrust is complete you just need to add abc users to the domain local groups on xyz.

HI akash,
There is no way to change the Domain Membership of a BDC to another Domain, which you are looking for. The reason behind this is that when install a BDC it shares the SID of the PDC for which you making BDC. SID cannot be changed in any way without reinstallation.Even if you want to authenticate users from another Domain make a Trust Relationship between them.
