Rename Domain with Exchange 2003 installed on Domain ControllerI need to rename my domain. All of the MS KB articles say I cannot rename the
domain if Exchange 2003 is installed on the Domain Controller. I do not see any techincal explanations as to why this cannot be done. I guess I am looking for the technical reason I can't rename a domain with exchange installed on the domain controller. My configuration is: 1 Stand alone Windows 2003 server configured as a Domain Controller with Exchange 2003 SP2, SQL Server 2000, and proprietary software installed on it. Can anyone provide me with a techincal reason I cannot rename the domain? Thanks, Paul Paul Essick <PaulEss***@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote:

Shouldn't that be good enough? Management won't go with that. They want something stating why. One of our
software developers has already done it on a test system and so now management thinks it is ok.......

may well be working but if you have issues Microsoft will not support it in production. To make this work you must first move your Exchange 2003 off your DC. This is requirement, you cannot rename a domain while Exchange 2003 is installed on a DC. If you want technical details then I would call Microsoft PSS directly. -- John Oliver, Jr MCSE, MCT, CCNA Exchange MVP 2008 Microsoft Certified Partner Show quote "Paul Essick" <PaulEss***@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:5D1C4093-876D-467C-BFD9-E174E92D8D27@microsoft.com... > Management won't go with that.
