Hi, I am afraid that you cannot rename the Windows 2008 domain that contains Exchange Server 2007. The Windows Server 2008 domain rename operation is not supported in an Active Directory forest that contains Exchange Server 2003, Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 2 (SP2), Exchange Server 2007, or Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 1 (SP1). In addition, to perform a domain rename operation, Exchange must not be installed on any domain controllers. For more information, please refer to the following article: Introduction to Administering Active Directory Domain Rename http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc816848.aspx Thank you for your understanding.
