Hi

Our client is changing their brand name, and want their PC's to log on
to newdomain.com rather than olddomain.com.
Can someone tell me what this is called, and how to do it?

Windows 2000 Server with DNS, AD, Exchange 2000.

Thanks
Nick
 
This is called building a brand new forest and Exchange organization from
scratch, migrating all the users and computers over and scrapping the old
domain. There are no domain rename tools in Windows 2000. There are in
Windows 2003 but you can't use them when you have Exchange. Unless you have
a very small number of users this will be a nightmare task.

One option you might want to suggest is to tell users to log on with the
UPN. This way they can log on with a name of (e-mail address removed) without
realising that they are actually still a member of olddomain.com.
