Re: Change Domain Name or not - Single Label Domain

A lab is essential. Virtual Machine technologies, now affordable - even
free, are the way to go.
I've done about a handfull of these NT4 SLD's and all have gone for
Inter-Forest Migrations over Domain Renames. Exchange and SQL are going to
be challenging and risks that have to be carefully managed.
Domain Renames are brutal with Exchange, SQL, and who knows what leftovers
from NT days.
Might want to post this question to the windows.public.server.migration
newsgroup and get additional comments.

I have a single domain AD structure. The domain is a single label domain.
I
am debating over changing the name to domain.local or the like. Any
advice
out there for pros and cons to this change. The single label domain is a
hold over from upgrading the domain from win NT up through windows 2003.
We
have Exchange 2003 in house and SQL 2005.
Our external or email domain is domainUSA.com, I could change our domain
to
be the same as the external.
My DNS is setup up as internal so my Website, which is hosted inside is
listed on my internal DNS with our private IP address and on Public DNS as
public ip address. I have the same thing with Exchange. Not sure what
difficulties I am going to have with DNS should I change domain names.
Also
we are a fairly small organization (6 servers - 30 clients) with no "lab"
environment to test changes.
