Can I
rename my Windows 2003 Domain? Can I
move Child Domains between different
trees in Active Directory?
Yes
you can, by using the Windows Server
2003 Active Directory Domain Rename
Tools.
The
Windows Server 2003 Active Directory
Domain Rename Tools provide a secure
and supported methodology to rename
one or more domains (as well as
application directory partitions) in
a deployed Active Directory forest.
The DNS name and/or the NetBIOS name
of a domain can be changed using the
domain rename procedure.
This
functionality is not available in
Microsoft Windows 2000 Server
family.
Note: Windows Server 2000 AD
Domains CAN be renamed if they are
still in Mixed mode (see
Windows 2000 Domain Rename page
for more info). |
