They utilize http://intranet.domainname.com
for their intranet, so adding another DC blows up the reference to
their intranet site.
Where did you get that idea? Adding another DC to the domain does nothing to how they get to their intranet.

I have a fairly simple network with a Windows 2003 R2 64-bit domain
controller. It is the only DC. There are 2 other member servers and
about 60 XP and Vista client systems. Exchange is not in the mix, but
there are several databases in the mix, some on MS SQL, however, for
the most part they are web backends and not using the Windows accounts
for permissions. In addition there is one MAC OS 10 server and about
15 MAC clients. The Windows and MAC systems share data across
platforms. I don't want to have to rebuild from scratch just to get
an additional DC on the network. The Forest is at Windows 2000
Functional Level and the Domain is Windows 2000 Mixed Functional
Level. The domain was originally set up incorrectly as
intranet.domainname.com. They utilize http://intranet.domainname.com
for their intranet, so adding another DC blows up the reference to
their intranet site. From what I've been able to find, there is not a
supported renaming of 64-bit domains.
Has anyone tried adding a 32-bit domain controller to a 64-bit domain
and doing the rename process on the 32-bit DC? If so any caveats? I
know the functional level will need elevated, but do I need to move
all the roles to the 32-bit DC? Any other considerations?
Thanks for your input.
