domain rename for file server

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry


Dear Experts,

Need your advice.


Basically I have a file server.
This server has shares.. which are actually repositories for users that scan
their documents over the network.

Now we are consolidating the domains, basically I have to do a domain change
and rename the server to comply with the new corporate naming conventions at
this location.In other words the server hardware & OS(W2K advanced sp4) is
same but just a domain change and a rename is being done here

Can anyone outline the procedures that will have minimal impact on the user
community(wishful thinking:).

Also do you think I need to write a vbs script to redirect the users to the
server(as it will be different domain and server name now)

Or can I use a simple drive mapping command such as net share to be pushed
to the clients to do the trick.


Thanks

Paul
