Getting rid of old bios domain name after a migration to 2003 AD with different domain name
I had a old Win NT domain named SPIRIT. My new internal domain name is example.com after a Windows 2003 AD migration. My users when logging in still log into the SPIRIT bios name. I would like to do away with this and have them log into the example.com domain. I dont even want SPIRIT showing up as an option in the login process. Please help!!! Thanks!
remove the trust relations between both domains. disconect the old DC
It's not quite clear whether you've migrated your domain or upgraded it.
If the latter, you own't get rid of the SPIRIT domain name; an AD domain always has a NetBIOS domain name as well for backward compatibility.
In this case, the only thing you can do is to remove the domain dropdown box, forcing the users to logon with their UPN.

If you do this how would you log into the local machine if there is no dropdown list to pick from?
