Hi Mark,
I m assuming you wanna change name of Domain controller. In order the change
the name of domain controller, you will have to rebuilt the domain
controller.
If the issue is different give litte more information
What is the role of the server, whose name you wanna change ?
Also which name you wanna change?
What actually problem you face in current scenario ?
I shall be able to help you to some extend
