Hi,
1. If u are having a single Server (PDC) and no BDC in ur Network, then u will
have
A. Export the GAL from the exisitng Exchange Server before changing the
domain name.
B. Re-install Exchange Server / Apply the patches.
C. Import the GAL back to the New Exchange Server.
Else use "utools" as suggested.
2. You will have to make similar ISP Entries for IMS / SMTP for your New
Exchange Server and connectors.
All that shud do.
Take Care.
Bye,
Manish

Well, I think he's probably thinking about to change the domain name
(exchange).
Is that right?

We had to do this at a previous company and it can be a bit nasty. A tool
that helped us a lot, called U-Promote, by UTOOLS allows you to demote PDC
and BDC's to member servers, so you can change the domain name without
reinstalling the O/S... member servers are easy to change the domain name
on. It was a wise investment.
I am assuming that the O/S is NT.
We promoted a member server to PDC, and demoted the PDC to a member server
so it's domain name could change and be brought up again. Since it was the
only server on the domain, it became the PDC. We then repeated the steps
with the BDC. The member servers came over easily.
Exchange Server cannot be demoted and there are many places to make changes
-- there are Q articles on this. However in retrospect it would have been
better and saved us a lot of time if we had just exported all the users
mailboxes to pst's, reinstalled the Exchange on the new domain and imported
the pst files into the new email boxes.
Create a check list of your steps so you can back track... it was very
helpful when I did it.
Then you have the workstation domain properties to change. Win 2k is easy,
but Win 98 machines are more difficult... we had to remove all Win 98
machine names from the server and add to the domain
