DIR.ABCCORP.COM is the W2k3 AD forest root domain. Currently clients and WIndows servers capable of DNS self-registration register in AD. All non-Windows servers are registered in BIND. I want to simplify.. simplify ....simplify the DNS architecture and host as much as possible on AD-integrated Server 2003 DNS.
Under the current architecture, could this be accomplished using rendom.exe (Domain Rename tool)? Or would this require an entire AD restructure and be a logistical nightmare to migrate? What would be the steps to accomplish this? In the EU.DIR.ABCCORP.COM domain, the AD implementation is nearly fully implemented and there are many locations. It is W2k3 forest and domain functional level.
If it would be very difficult to implement, what is the maximum degree of AD-integrated Server 2003 hosting which could be achieved given this scenario?
