For starters... read the docs on domain rename!
 
I have done this in a test environment and it was fun to see it. It was also one hell of a procedure!!! A domain rename impacts your complete AD forest and for a moment your environment is NOT available!!!
 
Domain rename is not possible in some scenarios like when you have exchange 2003 SP0 and lower. Only E2k3Sp1 supports domain rename.
 
My tip: create a test environment that's a representative model of your production env. and test test test test plan plan plan test plan

Subject: [ActiveDir] 2003 Domain Rename Tool

Has anyone used the Active Directory Domain Rename tool and if so what experiences did you have?
