hey,
 i had this issue when i was upgrading my domain to win2k,
i mistakenly did not named it right, so i contacted
microsoft and they sent me a script which basically
changed the name of the domain from netbios name to fqdn.
( they said this will come in 2003 version) i am not sure
where to locate in 2003, and i am also not sure that the
same script will do all you need for your exchange.
BUt i suggest give it a shot, call microsoft ($245)a call
explain your situation..and they will direct you to the
right place, if not they won't charge you for that.

Otherwise the second option is to go through the new
domain and migration path ???

Keep the newsgroup posted how you did it.

Take care
