This question is for Susan - SBS Goddess - but feel free to respond if
you know the answer. Can a SBS 2003 domain/forest be renamed? If so,
what's the best/recommended practice in doing it?

TIA

If you consider flattening the box and reinstalling reasonable. :-)

Remember it's got Exchange on a DC which means a rename is not supported
along with an integrated Sharepoint.
In MVPdom where we don't care about such things and sometimes we do it just
to see if you can, you have to rip out a lot of stuff and even then there is
'weirdness' left over in the event logs. Thus it's really not for
production machines that you care about at all.

We recommend that the domain is not named in a manner that you care about
renaming it later.

Remember you can always CEICW (run the wizard) and redo the Exchange name
with no issues.

And remember we are a single DC/Forest... so we're more like a "tree" than a
"forest".

What about migration to a new domain then ? Maybe that would be the
way around renaming?

I am not sure of the implications it might have on exchange or share point.

With two SBS servers you get the two-level effect with a little path
running down the middle.

Easier than cutting down the mightiest tree in the forest with ....

And remember we are a single DC/Forest... so we're more like a "tree"
than a
"forest".

If you consider flattening the box and reinstalling reasonable. :-)

Remember it's got Exchange on a DC which means a rename is not supported
along with an integrated Sharepoint.
In MVPdom where we don't care about such things and sometimes we do it
just
to see if you can, you have to rip out a lot of stuff and even then
there is
'weirdness' left over in the event logs. Thus it's really not for
production machines that you care about at all.

We recommend that the domain is not named in a manner that you care
about
renaming it later.

Remember you can always CEICW (run the wizard) and redo the Exchange
name
with no issues.

This question is for Susan - SBS Goddess - but feel free to respond if
you know the answer. Can a SBS 2003 domain/forest be renamed? If so,
what's the best/recommended practice in doing it?

TIA

Awww... that's nice to hear :-)

Psssttt.....You guys realize you don't have to butter me up to answer
SBS questions.....I've said before that I'm a terrible lurker and if
there's an SBS box in trouble I'm pouncing and seeing if I can help.....
