change the name to the entire domain
Hi!!
I have a domain with Windows 2003 Server.
For business reasons, I must change the name to the entire domain, including Exchange 2003.
Is there any way to make it as simple as possible?, Or should I install a separate domain?

first off, renaming a domain is something I would try to avoid if one has the choice. if you do try to setup a testszenario first and play around with it to get familiar with the steps.
there are guides on the net like
