When to use a single-label domain name

NS

When is it appropriate to use a single-
labelled domain name? and how to convert a single-labeled
domain name name to multi-labled? Is it only through
demoting and promoting the dc again?

Thanks.

Don't see a valid reason to use single-labeled domain name, as it will only
cause problems. See http://support.microsoft.com/?id=300684 for more info.
Switching to multiple-labeled domain name is basically renaming a domain,
which is not possible under Windows 2000 (if in mixed mode you still have a
chance though). If your forest is in Windows 2003 mode, then you can rename
domain using rendom.exe tool, but you must have no Exchange 2000 on your
network.
