That is unfortunate since Exchange 2007, due its new security model, is very good at "daylighting" domain naming issues that may have lain dormant and unnoticed for years. Sure wish I knew an MVP who could yell at Microsoft about this for me. ;-)

Google rendom, and the Exchange rename tool, on Microsoft's support site. It's probably easier to rename the domain. There is something to be said for "starting fresh" as well. Regards, Michael B.

We are a college and we are changing out name thus the domain name will have to be changed. I am running AD on windows 2003 serve and exchange 2003 for email.. Is it best to setup a new domain and migrate users to that or try to rename the current one in place.
