>> I worked out how to change it but never had the courage to actually do it. same here. and that's why I say: "I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT! (as I do not know what the consequences are of doing it!)" it may be as simple as it looks... just changing the case of the value of the attribute...but the idea that things might go wrong (not sure what) -> ;-(( Jorge

It bothered the heck out of me, I worked out how to change it but never had the courage to actually do it. ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 08, 2005 11:10 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Domain case Agree completely. I also assumed that the name appeared 'wrongly' to users, as well as in ADDT. [hence domain rename] If the only requirement is to change the name in ADDT then benefit versus pain is really skewed towards pain :) neil ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Almeida Pinto, Jorge de Sent: 08 December 2005 15:52 To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Domain case IMHO, a domain rename would be needed if the NetBIOS and/or DNS domain name needed to change. (different structure) Just for changing the case in ADDT a domain rename is not needed. Just did it in my test environment by changing the case of the value of the attribute "dnsRoot" of the object "CN=<Domain Name>,CN=Partitions,CN=Configuration,DC=<Domain Name>,DC=<tld>" The case in ADDT also changed. However. although I have shown it here I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT! (as I do not know what the consequences are of doing it!) It may look better, but WHO CARES? I would leave it as is. A small mistake and you could be in deep sh*t. If it works, don't brake it!

What is the (perceived) issue with the case? neil ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Harding, Devon Sent: 08 December 2005 14:08 To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] Domain case Is there any way to change the case of a child domain in AD from all upper-case to all lower-case? Example, when I look in Active Directory Domains & Trust, I have this: - domain.com + child1.domain.com + child2.domain.com + CHILD3.DOMAIN.COM + child4.domain.com I want to change CHILD3.DOMAIN.COM to child3.domain.com. This also exist when I try to browse the domain tree in ADUC.
