Correct. Devon, as much pain as there is in the
process, AS I UNDERSTAND IT (I do not speak for PSS) the Domain Rename process
is the only supported method of doing what you want to do.
Jorge's lab experiment does indicate that you might be able
to do it along his described way, but you need to be cautious
when doing anything that is outside the supported methods. Though you
might not be denied assistance, if the method chosen outside of the supported
method proved to be a contributor to a problem some days, months, years down the
road - PSS may defer the issue. As it is termed (which some hate the
wording) 'best effort' support may be all that would be
offered.
And, if you have Exchange in the environment - it greatly
complicates any of these, though the rename is still the safest
route.
Me - I'd deal with the letter case and move on in
life. There are so many other things that cause pain that a domain rename
is not worth seeing all lower case in a dialog box.
But, that's me - YMMV.

completely. I also
assumed that the name appeared 'wrongly' to users, as well as in ADDT. [hence
domain rename] If the
only requirement is to change the name in ADDT then benefit versus pain is
really skewed towards pain :) neil From:

On Behalf Of Almeida Pinto, Jorge
de IMHO, a
domain rename would be needed if the NetBIOS and/or DNS domain name needed to
change. (different structure) Just for changing the case in ADDT a
domain rename is not needed. Just did it in my test environment by changing the
case of the value of the attribute "dnsRoot" of the object "CN=<Domain
Name>,CN=Partitions,CN=Configuration,DC=<Domain
Name>,DC=<tld>" The case in ADDT also changed.
However. although I have shown it here I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT! (as I do not know
what the consequences are of doing it!) It may look better, but WHO CARES? I
would leave it as is. A small mistake and you could be in deep
sh*t. If it works, don't brake
it! Cheers, Jorge From:

a domain rename is your only option and I would doubt that the benefit outweighs

On Behalf Of Is there any way to change the case
of a child domain in AD from all upper-case to all lower-case? Example,
when I look in Active Directory Domains & Trust, I have
this: -
domain.com
+ child1.domain.com
+ child2.domain.com
+ CHILD3.DOMAIN.COM
+ child4.domain.com I want to change CHILD3.DOMAIN.COM
to child3.domain.com. This also exist when I try to browse the domain tree
in ADUC. Windows
