  Hi Paul

  You guessed right, you will have to start from the very beginning of the AD 
track. Exmerge all your mail accounts to pst's and that will take care of the 
mailboxes,As to the file and security permissions, also you will have to start 
from scratch.

  Big job, good luck.


  Steve

    Hi All

    I think I know the answer to this but would just like confirmation please. 
I have been asked to rename our single AD domain. We are running Exchange 2000 
also and the Organisation name will need changing. Am I correct in saying that 
the only answer is to build a brand new Domain Forest and reinstall Exchange 
2000 and then recreate all the users with new accounts and then move over all 
the other servers and workstations. I won't even mention all the security and 
applications that will most probably break or the desktop fun that will ensue. 

    I am pretty certain Microsoft do not support this with Windows 2000 and 
even with 2003 it won't work if Exchange 2000 is installed. I was just 
wondering if there were any third party tools that may help. I strongly suspect 
not but thought I would just ask in case I am mistaken or anyone has any better 
ideas.

    I even had the utterly wild thought of creating a new tree in the same 
forest and then deleting the trusts but I don't see how that would help really 
as when I install Exchange on the new Domain it will look for the existing box 
as AD would still be aware of it and I can't see how that would get around 
having the wrong Organisation name either. In fact I could see the whole 
remaining AD structure on the new Domain being a complete mess. Please feel 
free to correct me if I mistaken or have missed something.

    Any thoughts or ideas greatly appreciated. 

    Many thanks in advance.

    Regards,

    Paul Lemonidis.
