RE: [ActiveDir] rename Domain Controller
Title: Message You should verify there are no old server name entries in DNS which reference the old domain controller. Do not forget to include old SRV records for ldap, kerberos and gc references. Also, make sure the server's FSMO roles have been transferred before the demotion.
