Our office has decieded to alter the Server naming convention. I have found
a couple of articles on changing a Domain Controller's and Exchange 2003
server's names. Could I get some advice/help on doing this? Other than
don't. I can see from the MS articles on DC and Exch Server Name changing is
not suggested. Will I run into issues with DNS and WINS?

Actually you can't rename a Windows 2000 Server Domain Controller without
demote Active Directory, rename it and then promote it back as a Domain
Controller.
