Hello All:

 

I have stared the process of renaming my active diretcory. I have go to the point where I am attempting to rename the directory and I keep getting an error. I am attaching screenshots of the command that I entered, the syntax for that command, see example and my system page for your review. Can someone tell me how to change the domain name. I can tell you that I now see the new domain name being displayed. Any assistance would be extremely appreciated and thanks in advance for any and all responses

    You need to check carefully what you type because it is wrong. In chapter 4 (Use netdom utility to rename the Active Directory Domain Controller) we add the new domain name to the name of the DC. The correct command is like this:

    netdom computername server01.adatum.local /add: server01.contoso.local

    I do not see any 'computername' in your command. In the above example the hostname of the DC is 'server01'

    Hi,

    Attached is a screenshot of the command that I entered, if you look at the System page, you will see that the computer name is AESTONE, the domain name is stone-and-stone.local, then check the screenshot for the command that I entered, see the result, Allen

    Pls, run

    netdom computername aestone.stone-and-stone.local /add:aestone.stoneandstone1.com

    Before you run this read it carefully so there are no typos.

    Not sure I can help you with this through this forum. Pls, purchase some premier support here Premier Support (server-essentials.com) and we will schedule time for a session next week (fully booked this week). If you cannot wait that long restore from backup to your previous configuration.
