I will be upgrading my domain from 2003 to 2008 R2 and Exchange 2003 > 2010. Apparently E2010 does not like my current domain name "company.town.main" It wants (needs?) a name that can be registered w/ an internet registrar in order to obtain a certificate. So... I will be renaming the domain to "company.net" this weekend. I have already registered the "company.net" name.
>From what I have read, it is fairly (?) straightforward: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc738208(v=ws.10).aspx Then there are specific Exchange changes: "XDR-fixup" Then it seems EVERY computer needs to reboot twice for them to see the new domain. I do have a script for this and a txt file w/ all the machines in it: for /f %%i in (machines.txt) do shutdown -m \\%%i -f -r -t 05 My question is... has anyone here successfully renamed a 2003 domain (especially w/ Exchange 2003 in it)? Care to share your experience and any gotcha's that came up?
