Yes... &nbsp;I went through the steps and I rebooted/restarted the clients several times but nothing changes... I should add that I am using VMWARE to simulate this enviorment. I don't believe that shoud be an issue but just wanted to be clear on that. <br />

Test Network:<br />
1 DC , DNS - &nbsp;1 xp Client - 1 W2K Client (Both joined to the domain Fred.com)<br />
<br />
I complete a domain rename to ethel.com and delete old DNS zone. Everything seems to be fine but the clients sill only have fred.com and localhost as their options to login. <br />
<br />
When doing a domain rename on a 2003 server, how do you get the clients (XP, 2000) to change their domain logins? &nbsp;Do I have to manually unjoin the domain and rejoin the new domain?

2003 Domain Rename client issues.

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.
