Re: sbs2003 and domain rename

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



The internal name has absolutely no bearing on what is seen on the outside. Domain name is like a workgroup name for peer to peer but with super powers.

If you need the change the domain name for email, etc. Just re-run the CEICW. Lot of money to be spent to reinstall everything just for the internal name.
