I have a newly setup windows 2003 STD server. When the domain was created it was not names domain.local it was named domain.com. The server domain is now conflicting with an website of the same name. Is it possible to change the domain name of the server (it is the only server in the network) to domain.local without loosing all my user information and what is the best way to accomplish this Thanks in advance
