I doubt anyone has really played with it. I expect from the
example below it would possibly be dnsRoot that would be the culprit. I just
changed the case of it on one of my test domains and it allowed it. Don't know
if I broke anything, but ADUC still shows the old version of the name. Could be
I need to reboot my DCs as that info may be cached which I don't have time for
at the moment. I wouldn't worry about the dNSHostName on the server objects.
I would say no matter what anyone says here, go into your
lab and do it once and see if it works. If it does, do it again 2 more times to
make sure.
I had this same issue at one company. It was caused by the
person doing the initial DCPROMO to upgrade the domain of typing the name in in
CAPS. I did the initial promo for all domains except this one and his last
name interestingly enough was Capps. :o) It was annoying to look at but
certainly didn't cause issues. Nothing was case sensitive concerning it except
people looking at it.

On Behalf Of Mulnick,
Al I honestly
don't know of a way to change that safely. My understanding is that the
display you see is the DN of that domain which is owned by the
system. I'd be
interested to hear if you find a way outside of domainrename
though. Al From:

On Behalf Of Mainly
just the look. I'm trying to maintain structure here. Right now, my
AD structure looks like this: -
domain.com +
child1.domain.com +
child2.domain.com +
child3.domain.com +
CHILD4.DOMAIN.COM +
child5.doamin.com +
child6.domain.com I need
CHILD4.DOMAIN.COM to be child4.domain.com - From:

a domain name change. From:

On Behalf Of For some reason, someone in our org.
upgraded an NT4 domain to a Windows 2000 child domain and used Capital Letters
in the fully qualified domain name. All our other domain names are lower
case. How can I change this domain to lower case to match the
others? - __________________________________ __________________________________
