Then make sure that the only mailbox left on this server is owned by the guy in the suit and let him feel the pain of Exchange server rename ;)

(sorry for jumping to conclusions)

Correction: I do not want to rename the Exchange server - someone in a suit wants to rename the server. I said no it will cause pain - but could not quantify that statement off the top of my head.

Susan,

He wants to rename the Exchange server and not the domain. The computer
name rename of Exchange will definitely break things - all the user
attributes will point to old name, the Exchange Org settings will
contain the old name and I'm almost sure the Exchange services will not
even start and no xdr-fixup will save the day (it only deals with
domain/forest NCs rename and not with computer name rename).

Technically speaking in the 2k3 era it is supported. Still gives many
of us heart attacks but a SBS MVP did this on a SBS 2003 box and while
Exchange survived the process, it was SharePoint that hated the trip the

most.
