Title: Message

Note that that is going to be corrected I believe in the next Exchange SP. Stuart mentioned at DEC that they had just gone through an internal domain rename with Exchange and it went well. They actually did two renames but I will let you hear that funny incident from Stuart as he tells it better.     joe   ------------- http://www.joeware.net   (download joeware) http://www.cafeshops.com/joewarenet  (wear joeware)       From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Lou Vega Sent: Friday, April 16, 2004 2:27 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] AD screw up True – you can rename a Windows 2003 domain (again not really advised), here’s a link to the 80 page “step-by-step” J (http://download.microsoft.com/download/c/f/c/cfcbff04-97ca-4fca-9e8c-3a9c90a2a2e2/Domain-Rename-Procedure.doc). Also as noted in Bruce’s post, if you have Exchange, the domain rename is not supported in any forest that has any version of Exchange.     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bruce Clingaman Sent: Friday, April 16, 2004 2:02 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] AD screw up   No. The domain name is not tied to the OU structure. I have read that you can change the domain name (not advised) in 2003, unless you are running Exchange, then you would be left with rebuilding the domain from scratch.   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Drew Gainor Sent: Friday, April 16, 2004 12:54 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] AD screw up Ok, how about this. I create a new child OU in my existing domain called corp. I then move all users and objects from the root domain to the corp child. Then I rename the root domain. Does that sound like it will work? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Salandra, Justin A.

I found info at Microsoft http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/techinfo/reskit/deploymentscenarios/scenarios/ou_design_implement_ou_structure.asp   now my question is - Since I already created an AD containing an OU of what I would like to be a child how can I create the parent to insert the child into. Or is that even possible? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Salandra, Justin A.

I then converted everyone over to it along with my Exchange server.   Now I also have a couple of branch offices and want to create children.   The mistake I made was that I did not set up an Empty Root Domain first. I setup the corporate domain as the first server.   This is what I would like to do. Tell me if I am wrong or if you have any other suggestions.     Root - ADRoot child - corp.ADRoot child - branch1.ADRoot child - branch2.ADRoot   I do not want the domains to be internet FQDN.   Drew
