Hello Matthew,
 
You can use the netdom command to rename the DC since there are only 50
clients in the network.
 
 
Alternatively, you can use the following method to handle shares and
printers issue:
 
1. Printer migration tool
You may use a tool called Print Migrator to facilitate the migration. The
following website/documents contain very good information for this tool:
 
Print Server Upgrade, Migration, and Interoperability
http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/technologies/fileandprint/print/miginte
rop.asp
 
Print Migrator 3.1 Download
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=9b9f2925-cbc9-44da-
b2c9-ffdbc46b0b17&displaylang=en
 
Microsoft Print Migrator Document
http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/docs/PrintMigrator3.doc
 
2. Use logon script and GPO to remap the shared files
You can use Net use command to re-map the driver. Use logon script and
startup script via GPO deploy. This way, the end users will not know what
has happened while continuing using the shared files.
 
2.1 Net use command to re-map the drive.
The article below tells you how to use the net use command.

dard/proddocs/en-us/net_use.asp
 
2.2 Assign startup script and logon script

Assigning logon scripts to user or group accounts
http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/en/advanced/help/default.asp?url=/windo

2.3 Use GPO to deploy the scripts
 
 
A kind reminder, it is better to have 2 DCs in a domain for fault tolerance
requirements and overloading issues.
 
Any updates, welcome to contact me!
 

Best regards,

Frances He
