Changing Domain Names
Overview
Thinking about changing the domain name on your server? While it's possible to do this yourself, moving a domain to a new host or changing the domain with your current host requires assistance from your hosting company.
Important Considerations
Changes to your domain name involve adjustments in your computer's registry, so you need appropriate access. If you're managing a server from home or your office, you can make these changes. However, be cautious as incorrect registry modifications can disrupt your system.
Steps for Changing Your Domain Name
1. Break Trust Connections:
- Remove the current domain from all trust sides.
- Terminate back-office services such as Microsoft Exchange Server, Internet Information Server, and SQL Server. Set these services to manual startup.
2. Change Domain on PDC:
- Reboot the server to update the entry on the WINS server, where you can enter the new domain.
- If you're using WINS for NetBIOS instead of TCP/IP, replicate the PDC primary WINS server across other WINS servers to update your new domain name.
3. Reboot and Update:
- After restarting, ensure all WINS server information is replicated.
- Reestablish trust connections once replication is complete.
4. Restore Back-Office Services:
- Set up and bring these services back online.
- Switch services to automatic startup and reboot them in the correct order.
5. System-Wide Changes:
- Change domain names on every server and workstation as needed.
- Update workgroup names if necessary.
Once these steps are complete and the domain change is synchronized throughout your system, your domain name change is successful.
By following these instructions carefully, you can manage your domain name change without unnecessary complications.
