Renaming domain from .INT to .COM

[GeorgeTuk]

Hi guys,

Have taken over a new company and they have a .INT domain which apparently we shouldn't have.

How can I change this the easiest, there is two DCs running?

Thanks for any help in advance!

Why shouldn't you have .int? There should be no issues with that.

Keep in mind if you have Exchange 2003 in your environment, there are more steps involved in renaming your domain. If you have Exchange 2007 or later, you cannot rename the domain.

You'll want to keep the domain name as it is. Having the domain name be the same as your public domain name is a problem, especially as you get into Windows 2008 R2 domains and Exchange 2010.
