OK heres the story. I need to rename a domain and I'm worried about the problems that might be cuased because of it being renamed. I'm also not sure how to go about it really.
I've looked at this http://www.microsoft.com/technet/downloads/winsrvr/domainrename.mspx
and read the documentation that goes with it but am still struggling, at its not something I wanna practice without getting some advise.
It says that I need another 2003 server which isn't the DC in order to rename the domain, but the problem is that it is in a school and they only have the one server.
Plus after the domain is renamed, do the machines need to be rejoined or do they somehow pick up the new domain?
Any help would be great!!
