Server is running 2012, virtualized, with 2008 DC's.

It's a fairly new install, and I'm migrating from an old 2003 server. However, 
the powers asked that I rename the new server.

Can I do this (without messing up a bunch of AD stuff)? Rename a.mycompany.com 
to b.mycompany.com. I realize that any clients using a.mycompany.com would have 
to be switched to look at b.mycompany.com
Can/Should I add a DNS entry (AD DNS internal only) with new name pointing to 
server IP? B.mycompany.com pointing to 101.101.101.101 (fictitious IP address 
of a.mycompany.com)
Should I just make a new fileserver with the name chosen (b.mycompany.com), 
migrate what I have (from a.mycompany.com to b.mycompany.com), then continue my 
original migration?

I don't see much help on Google (it shows up articles on how to rename files 
and directories).

Thanks
