You cannot rename exchange 2000 server... -----Original Message----- From: Oliver Tann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 24, 2003 6:27 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Renaming E2K server
I have to rename my E2K server as it doesn't match its hostname and uses an underscore (so I can't just change the hostname). Some external mail recipients reject mail as the servername and hostnames don't match. It's also a DC so I'll have to demote it first.... My question is simply are there any problems in changing the name of a mailserver? Should I stop all the services first? And do I need to do anything to the AD once I've demoted it to a member server. Any help greatly appreciated.
