As this is posted in the SBS section I assume you are using SBS. If so you cannot uswe the domain rename tools. If you want to install a new machine with a new domain name you will have to build a new, seperate domain and then rebuild it with the new name. &nbsp;Its going to be a labourious process of exporting and re-importing user accounts. You won't be able to use ADMT either as that requires a trust between the domains - something not possible the SBS.
