Internal network naming convention

I've been asked to take over a Windows Server 21012 based network which has a raft of problems.

One of them is that the network has been called thecompanyname.net

They don't own thecompanyname.net, and it does exist on the public Internet.

Apart from them not being able to browse thecompanyname.net, which is never going to happen anyway, is there a compelling reason to reinstall the network?

I want it to be internal.thecompanyname.com.au, as they own and control thecompanyname.com.au

The business owner is reluctant to let me reinstall the network and I don't want to take the job unless I can do that

I guess you'll not be working there. Remember the age old rule: The customer is always right, even when they are wrong.

That's it. The Cert. That's the killer reason.
honestly, why not just thecompanyname.net?  Redoing AD is more costly then registering the domain name.

thecompanyname.net is owned by another party and is live on the Internet. Did you not read the question?
