This is not possible. You would have to remove Exchange completely from your AD and reinstall it. Following is from exch 2003, but still applies. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998141(EXCHG.65).aspx Tim Harrington - Catapult Systems - http://HowDoUC.blogspot.com

Have Exchange 2007 environment migrated from 2003 After migration in ADSI edit tool I see organization name, I want to change it for something else. How can I do it? Thanks! Its not supported. This is the excerpt from:http://www.windowsitpro.com/article/tips/can-i-rename-the-microsoft-exchange-server-organization-.aspx Even with Exchange Server 2003 in native mode, you still can't rename the Exchange organization. You would need to totally uninstall Exchange, clean up the server, and reinstall Exchange with the new organization name. You'd also need to export your mail items to personal folder store (PST) files, then use the exmerge.exe tool to import the mail items back in. Finally, you'd have to address problems with recipients who try to reply to existing messages because the X.500 address would have changed (as a result of the new organization name) unless you populate the users in Active Directory (AD) with the original X.500 address.

Thanks for reply, I don't like do full uninstall of Exchange :) But maybe I can do this in case of migrating to 2010 Exchange? Maybe by creating new organization, and then move users to this new one?

A new organization means either creating a new Active Directory forest or completely removing Exchange from the existing forest and installing it again from scratch. Either of those options will allow you to change the organization name. -- Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems." .

You can create a new organization, but you will need to install a new AD forest. You can only have one Exchange organization in an AD forest.Tim Harrington - Catapult Systems - http://HowDoUC.blogspot.com
