Subject: [ActiveDir] Domain Controller Rename

Are there any caveats anyone knows of with the procedure outlined below
for renaming a 2003 Domain Controller with netdom?

This is a freshly built machine that was brought up in the same AD site
as the old system it was replacing for operational reasons. The old
system was demoted and removed a few weeks ago and we want to re-assume
the original name. The domain (and forest) are at 2003 functional level.

netdom computername CurrentComputerName /add:NewComputerName

Ensure the computer account updates and DNS registrations are completed,
then type:

netdom computername CurrentComputerName /makeprimary:NewComputerName

Restart the computer.

netdom computername NewComputerName /remove:OldComputerName

Thanks

Bob
