Back up the information stores with Exchange-aware backup. Un-install Exchange, take the server out of the domain, rename the server, join the domain with new server name, make sure that DNS gets updated (if WINS is also used, make sure WINS gets updated too), install Exchange.
Make sure that the Exchange organization name and administrative group name are EXACTLY the same as in the previous installation. Make sure that the information store objects in Exchange have EXACTLY the same name as in previous installation and file paths for transaction logs and information store DBs are EXACTLY the same. Restore the information stores from tape.

Do we need to uninstall and reinstall or can we just rename and keep all the public folders, etc?
