I hate to do this but my exchange guy is chiming in and missing the point. My company has been renamed several times and I have a sales president that wants us to change the domain name for the cosmetic of it. My Boss and I want to rename the domain to a generic name just so we don't have to worry about this again. This is not carved in stone, but are investigating cost and time. We have several sql servers, exchange 2007, Office Communicator, Sharepoint and other generic servers. Single Domain in a single forest.
I proposed I build a new domain/new forest with a complete trust, to the old domain/forest Move servers I can move, with permissions changes etc. Build virtuals of new servers to replace the ones that can't move. Then slowly move users and computers to new domain. I am trying to figure what servers need to be moved and which ones need to be rebuilt. Obviously exchange will have to be rebuilt and mailboxes exported and reimported. (Good time to upgrade to 2010) What other servers can I move over? I think I can move SQL if I add the appropriate users to the database accts and jobs. What about OCS? Any advice or experience would be appreciated. Luke L.
