Changing the computer name in Domain,

Hi,

I have to change the name of some laptops in our company.  I know if I rename the laptops I have to rejoin then to the domain. Would the user profiles be effected. the same user that was using the laptop would be using the laptop with the same domain name.The user profiles are local profiles and not roming. I just don’t want to have new user profiles created because we have to configure a lot of things with the new profile.

After re-reading the question, no, the profiles will not be affected by renaming the laptops.

Thank all of you for your suggestions. The user profile not changing defiantly helps. I will be opening another question for user profile which has to do with Coccobill response.
What??  No points??
What?? Am I speaking before thinking again??

Sorry for the stupidity on my part!
