    Windows 2008 Domain Rename

    Topic: Domain Rename on Windows 2008 R2 domain.

    I need to rename a windows 2008 domain. Previously I renamed the domain from name1 to name2. Afterwards I realized that I missed a step (creating a new dns zone for name2) so I renamed it back to the original name1 (which got it all working again). Now I want to move forward again on after executing the rename I am get the message “name2 domain has already been renamed”. How can I get it to allow me to rename from name1 to name2?

    Re: Windows 2008 Domain Rename

    I think that you don't have to separately install Rendom utility on Windows 2008. It is already installed as part of "Active Directory Domain Services" role.

    Location: %windir%\system32\rendom.exe
