hi jjmck<br />
<br />
thanx for that info. <br />
<br />
my prob is this. &nbsp;i need to rename my domain to conform with DNS standards. &nbsp;i will doing the following, <br />
<br />
1. break all trusts<br />
2. set all services with DOMAIN/username to Manual Startup<br />
and stop all services. ( i am only concerned with CRITICAL services here)<br />
4. On PDC, rename domain and restart, setup all domain accoutns and services and start. &nbsp;create new lmhosts and copy to BDCs<br />
<br />
<br />
my next step should be to follow the document you send the link to. &nbsp;Is that correct?. &nbsp;(ie - create &nbsp;a trust between the new domain and old domain?). &nbsp; <br />
<br />
thanx for your help.

Hi All<br />
<br />
I am changign the NT DOmain name on my network and have read all the articles etc. &nbsp;1 thing that concerns me is that I have heard that the DIR.EBD has the NT DOMAIN name registered in it and if i change it, then Exchange will never startup. <br />
<br />
Exchange Server (Exc5.5 SP4 - NT4sp6a - BDC).<br />
<br />
Is there any truth to this?<br />
<br />
Thanx for all your help<br />
