Which

If you

As it happens to many we need to rename our W2K domain. Our plan is to
upgrade our DCs to W3K then rename. Has anyone ventured down this road (to
hell) yet? The amount of work looks daunting! Thanks

Cindy,
We were in a similar situation. We did our upgrade on a Saturday morning advising our
users there would be periodic, but short outages as we were upgrading the domain. As
long as one NT4 domain controller and DNS/WINS server was available, all were happy.
Unless your PDC and DNS serve

Key point is that you must be in Windows Server 2003 Forest Functional Mode
- only W2k3 DCs in the forest. It's not anywhere near as bad as it looks.
Not anywhere as daunting as the road to Windows 2000 Native

Domain rename is a potentially difficult operation, but good up front
planning, and solid test environments are really the keys to success.
We have renamed more than one domain within Microsoft, with PKI, DFS,
and a number of other services which have close ties to the directory
itself.
For intere
H Out of curiosity, has anyone moved their production domains to Win2K Forest
Functional Mode yet?

Thanks Rick - we find the two reboots per device requirement a bit ...
tricky. (24 x 7 operations with 450 servers - 12500 workstations - 85
sites).
Sounds like a mess of work for what I consider optics!

As far as I know, MS has still not addressed the issues that Exchange has
with Domain Rename, even in Windows 2003. This is something to bear in mind,
if you have Exchange in the mix.
The last litterature I read (admittedly, it's a while back), indicates that

I reccomend that you do it when it will have the LEAST impact. The impact
will, however depend on the number of DCs and users involved. If you have
redundant servers, the impact will be less apparent to the end-user. This is
one of those times I tend to agree with "more (as in more hardware) is

Our MS rep says it is supported in W3K - however as you note BEFORE a E2K
deployment.

You're quite correct. If you have an E2K/E2k3 ORG, you still have a bit of
a problem. You can rename the domain, the ORG however - another issue
altogether.

Hence why its a good idea to NOT include the actual company name in the
forest or domain names. Means you dont have to change it when the comany
names changes (except for your Exchange smtp addresses, which can be done
independant of the domain name anyway).
