Hello, I finally renamed our AD Domain yesterday !
Here are the sticky steps: For SQL, I asked the PSS : you need to go trough the SQL Setup, see: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;319016 Then you need to recreate ALL AD Users in SQL. For the filer/printer cluster, i followed: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/269196/ For Exchange, i followed the same KB but only after issuing the xdr-fixup. SMS 2003 Was removed and installed again after (we exported our collections/ query as MOF file) WSUS didn't have any issue, we didn't removed it. Norton passed trough without any trouble, server and client still communicate well. Citrix is a bad one, needed to create again all users, and we didn't change the farm name (same as domain); if you do so, you have to recreate all publish. For the NT Service, i used a vbscript to find all of them, the same for scheduled tasks. About the scheduled tasks, when you change the first, all are updated ! So everything was fine, except one mistake from me : I issued the /clean too fast, workstation weren't migrated yet.. Too bad..We had to brought them out & in the domain. Hope this will help others in the same case, cheers, Mathieu CHATEAU Wednesday, July 5, 2006, 9:52:53 AM, you wrote: gff> hello, gff> we are about to do a domain rename soon. gff> We Have : gff> two DC, Windows 2003 SP1 last update. gff> AD in native windows 2003 domain gff> Forest in native mode. gff> I am a bit worried about: gff> -We have 3 clusters : Exchange, Filer, SQL 2000 gff> -We have SMS 2003 (will deinstall/reinstall) gff> -We have WSUS (will deinstall/reinstall) gff> -Norton corporate 10 gff> -Citrix Metaframe PPS 3.0 gff> -We have some services that uses DOMAIN\adminaccount gff> if someone have pointer, i am interested in ! gff> Cheers, gff> Mathieu CHATEAU gff> List info : http://www.activedir.org/List.aspx gff> List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/ListFAQ.aspx gff> List archive: http://www.activedir.org/ml/threads.aspx -- Best regards, Mathieu mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] List info : http://www.activedir.org/List.aspx List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/ListFAQ.aspx List archive: http://www.activedir.org/ml/threads.aspx
