Renaming the computer is as simple as Right-click My Computer, Properties, Computer Name Tab, and clicking on the Change button. Fill in the boxes, and you're done. It will then ask for the credentials that have the rights to do it, and it will take care of the AD. Joe Heaton

I will rename the user from ADUC Thanks GuidoElia HELPPC ________________________________ Da: Ken Schaefer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Inviato: mar 29/04/2008 8.27 A: NT System Admin Issues Oggetto: RE: Renaming a PC and a user in the domain Um - there shouldn't be any issue doing that (leaving aside any services running on the server that might require additional steps) You will need appropriate permissions to AD though.
