Any impact if renaming W2K8 AD domain name?
This is using a single W2K8 single-domain AD. Due to political issue, my boss want me to rename the domain name. I read through some articles about the renaming, and just don't understand why every workstation has to be rebooted twice after the renaming process.
What other considerations, impacts I have to be aware if any? Any how about the sure-work renaming steps?

he got that from here:

with only one server, nothing you can move everything to temporarily, it's a really bad idea to up and change the name...
but if your boss needs you to do it anyway, i would strongly suggest something more generic so you dont have to do this in a year again when the company changes their name or dumps a partner or something

No Exchange server.

Good explanation
The first thing to note is that if Exchange 2007 / 2010 is involved you should not attempt a domain rename. And if you happen to be running SBS then you cannot use Domain Rename.
Otherwise you must read the documentation here:
