Anyone know how to rename a Domain Controller? I think I can just run DCPROMO, make it a member server, rename it, then re-run DCPROMO and make it a DC again? Is this right, wrong, completely stupid?..... Also, any recommendations on (assuming the previous was correct) if I should do this or just rebuild the server? Finally, I would like to know how any of you out there did your migration testing for production applications that could NOT be reproduced in a lab environment? Lemme Know! Thanks!
