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.

Re: [ActiveDir] Domain case
Well... sometimes not exactly.
The Dell OEM image was built and it flips the preWin2k AD name to lower
case from the normal upper case.
WSUS doesn't like that during their install.
Sometimes case does matter.

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!

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

+ child4.domain.com
I want to change CHILD3.DOMAIN.COM
to child3.domain.com. This also exist when I try to browse the domain

RE: [ActiveDir] Domain case
The
worst thing that could happen?
The
domain name is stored in many instances, and if any domain or forest related
process hicks up because of binary different names you might loose your domain
or forest.
Thats
the worst case, but could it get any worse?
Issue
here is that nobody knows or would be willing to support this. Theoretically
changing the name to lowercase shouldnt influence anything, but is
anyone really sure that theres no application or process who relies on
the same domain name and does not a unsensitive case compare?

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!
Cheers,
Jorge

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.

RE: [ActiveDir] Domain case
Correct. Devon, as much pain as there is in the process, AS I UNDERSTAND IT (I do not speak for PSS) the Domain Rename process is the only supported method of doing what you want to do. Jorge's lab experiment does indicate that you might be able to do it alonghis describedway,but you need to be cautious when doing anything that is outside the supported methods. Though you might not be denied assistance, if the method chosen outside of the supported method proved to be a contributor to a problem some days, months, years down the road - PSS may defer the issue. As it is termed (which some hatethe wording) 'best effort' support may be all that would be offered. And, if you have Exchange in the environment - it greatly complicates any of these, though the rename is still the safest route. Me - I'd deal with the letter case and move on in life. There are so many other things that cause pain that a domain rename is not worth seeing all lower case in a dialog box. But, that's me - YMMV.
