Renaming is not that easy. Especially if the Email server is also a Domain Controller. It can be done but you may be better off adding a new server to the site/group then move the users to it.

Win2k Server Exch 2k all service packs
1 domain controller 1 exchange server

Is it merely difficult or downright suicidal to just change the name on
the existing server?
Before they ask me to do it, I am trying to gather information on what
would be the best way.
Everything I have read indicates that it is a very bad idea to change
the name of your mail server once it is place.
Unfortunately I named my mail server MSEXPKCE.
It made sense to me MS for Microsoft EX for Exchange.
I now have several places rejecting mail from my server because I have
the word S---------E----------X in my mail server name.
In fact as I am writing this I wonder how many content filters are going
to bounce this message.
All advice welcome.
Thank you for your time
Rachel
