I went through this decision tree a long time ago, when I
was upgrading a company from NT to 2K and went to Europe I let the European
admin enter the name of the domain, I didn't catch the upper case on the domain
name EU1 until afterward... It bothered the heck out of me, I worked out how to
change it but never had the courage to actually do it. From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 08, 2005 11:10 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Domain case Agree completely.
I also assumed that the name appeared 'wrongly' to users,
as well as in ADDT. [hence domain rename]
If the only requirement is to change the name in ADDT then
benefit versus pain is really skewed towards pain :)

be needed if the NetBIOS and/or DNS domain name needed to change. (different
structure)
Just for changing the case in ADDT a domain
rename is not needed. Just did it in my test environment by changing the case of
the value of the attribute "dnsRoot" of the object "CN=<Domain
Name>,CN=Partitions,CN=Configuration,DC=<Domain
Name>,DC=<tld>"
The case in ADDT also changed. However.
although I have shown it here I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT! (as I do not know what the
consequences are of doing it!)
It may look better, but WHO CARES? I would
leave it as is. A small mistake and you could be in deep sh*t.
If it works, don't brake it!

doubt that the benefit outweighs the pain in this scenario.
What is the (perceived) issue with the
case?

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Harding, Devon Sent: 08 December 2005 14:08 To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] Domain case Is there any way to change the case of a child domain in AD from all upper-case to all lower-case? Example, when I look in Active Directory Domains & Trust, I have this:
- domain.com + child1.domain.com + child2.domain.com + CHILD3.DOMAIN.COM + child4.domain.com
I want to change CHILD3.DOMAIN.COM to child3.domain.com. This also exist when I try to browse the domain tree in ADUC.
