I tried the procedures outlined on MS's site, using random, gpfixup, etc., and while the procedures all completed without error, the Exchange domain did not get renamed. So, it appears that I will be doing an uninstall of at least exchange.
Thanks to everyone that responded!

I need to change the domain name. Doing some reading up on the subject, I'm getting conflicting information on whether this is even possible in our case. For the record, this is our DC (and the only DC in the domain) and it has Exchange installed on it. I've read the documentation that MS has available on the two tools for domain renaming and am not clear on whether I need to first uninstall Exchange to do this. Has anyone here done this successfully without uninstalling Exchange first? TIA for any pointers!
