Pre-Windows 2000 Domain Name Change in Active Directory?

A few years back when I upgraded the Domain from NT to Active Directory 2003 I changed the domain name from say ADMIN to Domain.local. Since the upgrade when you browse all network machines they remained under the ADMIN tree. This has never been an issue until now.

I purchased an entry level NAS and when it integrated with Active Directory it makes itself a part of the Deltami tree (the only machine in it) and you cannot access it.

What I need to know is, is it possible to change the Pre-Windows 2000 domain name once you are using Active Directory in a Domain Functional Level of Windows Server 2003? Or is it possible to change the tree when you browse all network machines to the new domain? I suspect this might be done through DNS since there is still a forward lookup zone for the old domain name. Any direction would be helpful thanks!


Sorry for the long description
