John, well I did everything including the script that was provided by
Microsoft and Kevin and ran that which changed my domain suffix. After fixing
these two I ran the rendom /end command and it completed Successfully. Wow!!
There is so much to learn and and so much to explore and nothin is easy!!
And infact, I am happy that I did this. Now, domain rename is just so
simple!!! after completing it. Thanks guys!!
