You can rename a domain in Windows 2003 - it is messy but can be done.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Renaming a Domain


Hi all,
I have a question.  According to MS: 

* Domain rename operation is not supported in an Active Directory
forest that has Exchange 2000 deployed in it.  The domain rename tool
will detect this fact and refuse to proceed.

I am pondering a domain rename for a child domain in a forest.  Within
my domain, I do not have Exchange 2000 deployed.  Because Exchange 2000
does exist within the forest, am I stuck?  Also, my DCs will be running
Server 2003, but the root level DCs (IE the Domain Naming Master) will
only be running 2000.  Am I again, stuck?

Thanks!

Cory
