This is EXACTLY what happened. Someone
did a dcpromo and typed the domain in all CAPS.
I’m gonna try this on a test domain
and see what happens.

domain case?
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.

I’ve found a few
places in adsiedit where CHILD4 domain name is in caps, where it wasn’t
in the others:
CN=Configuration,DC=domain,DC=com
CN=Partitions
(right-click
domain name + properties)
dnsRoot & nCName
CN=Sites
CN=Site Name
CN=Server Name
(right-click
server name + properties)
dnsHostName
What are the
repercussions in changing it here?

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.

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

Isn't
there some sort of vb script that could do this just as the fixdomainsuffix.vbs
script?

As far
as I can remember.... This isn't possible under 2000 as it's basically the same
as a domain name change.

case?
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?
