You'll need to rename the domain, using the rendom tool and associated documentation, AFAIK.
My advice - don't do it - live with the domain name. If you really must rename it, then test and test again :) neil -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rascher, Raymond Sent: 20 July 2006 15:37 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] OT: Domain List Does anyone know how to change the NETBIOS name of a domain?

There's probably a number of options. As Tony says you can modify the list of domains available to Winlogon via ADM, or via a startup-script. You can also modify the GINA or write a new GINA. Vista seems to have scrapped this and forces you to use domain\samaccountname or UPN, which in my opinion is a good thing. --Paul ----- Original Message ----- From: "Aaron Visser" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, July 19, 2006 7:19 PM Subject: [ActiveDir] OT: Domain List > Using a GPO > > How can I hide the drop-down list of domains that appears on the logon > screen of Windows 2000 and XP machines that are connected to a Domain? > > OR > > How can I force UPN Logon?
