Change domain name and more in SBS 2008
We bought a SBS 2008 server about a year ago and installed it in our current workplace. We then named the domain after the adress we were currently at. Now we have moved though, and we're getting more clients on our server as we're "renting out accounts" on it.
This is no disaster but it just looks a little wierd and somewhat unprofessional. Is there any easy way to give it a new domain name? What problems will we have to anticipate?
We also would like to change the external web domain (mydomain in remote.mydomain.com) as this is connected to one of the previous customers company and we would like it to be connected to our company as we're the ones renting out both office space and SBS accounts. Is this doable without to much hassle?

Ok, first about the domain name, I don't know what UPN is. Second, logins are only part of what concerns me as you don't have to enter domain name that often when you login. It's just that the domain name is there in the background all the time, and it doesn't make any sense as it's an adress to somewhere else. But if I understand you I can't change the domain name without reinstalling the server and then putting back the backup of current accounts and sharepoint sites?
Could you also please explain the UPN thing?
What I meant with the remote.mydomain.com thing is this: One of our customers have his external domain which we used when we set up the server originally. This means that it's his domain name (www.mydomain.com for example) that we use to access rww (with the URL remote.mydomain.com). Is this just a question of repointing or will there be other implications?

Not the answer I was hoping for but the one I feared. I haven't tried the changing the external domain via the internet wizard, but it sounds right.
So you could add customerdomain.co.uk and they would then login as user@customerdomain.co.uk

I am not 100% sure what you mean here, can you clarify?
