Changing local domain name in SBS 2003 Standard (no Exchange)

Asked by dth1 in SBS Small Business Server, Windows 2003 Server, Active Directory

Tags: Microsoft, Small Business Server 2003 Standard, 2003, change domain name

Hi,

I'm looking for information regarding changing the local domain name on Small Business Server 2003 Standard.I'm in a situation where someone configured the system with a local domain name identical to the .com domain name the company uses for internet services, which are all hosted at a service provider.  I know that Microsoft has a tool for this that does not work on SBS 2003 and Ihave seen the sbsmigration.com website. I have the impression that the difficulties in SBS 2003 mostly involve Exchange. I am wondering if there is an outside chance that domianrename.exe will work on a SBS 2003 server that does not have Exchange installed, or in the case of the Standard edition does not include Exchange.

If it makes any difference this network has another server running Server 2003 R2. This server is configured as a backup AD domain controller.
