That is how I would do it. The name must be really bad before I'd take that kind of time. ;o)
So, what did you call it?

In Exchange 5.5 the process is quite difficult. It is described in Q155269 in detail. Question is what is the process on a Exchange 2000 server to change the NetBIOS name. Not concerned about the DNS and mx records at this time. The best option I have is to create an additional Exchange 2000 server move data and users, rebuilt the original Exchange 2000 server with a new name then move the data and users back to the new server. Is there and more simple method?

Does the NetBIOS name or the DNS name need to be changed? Would it not be easier to add an MX record with the new name (in addition to the current name) and add the appropriate DNS name for Inbound Routing? -----Original Message----- From: Clack, William J (Bill) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, May 14, 2002 11:19 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: How to Rename an Exchange 2000 server What is the correct procedure to rename an Exchange 2000 server? I am familiar with the procedure to rename an Exchange 5.5 server, which is NOT a whole lotta fun. Is it similar with Exchange 2000? I have a customer that needs to change the name of his Exchange 2000 server because it's present name is causing E-Mail from his server to be rejected because of filtering.
