HMC 4.0 with Exchange 2007 - domain name change

HMC 4.0 with Exchange 2007 - domain name change
Thu, 14 Feb 2008 20:38:32 +000
Hello all,

is it possible to change the AD domain name after the HMC 4.0 installation or
does it affect the HMC?

My idea is:

- Remove all Server from Domain
- demote the DC
- Change the Domain name and dcpromo
- add all Server to the new Domain

Is this also possible with the domain / server in a HMC environment or should we
install the HMC once again with the new AD Domain name?

Thanks.

Best regards

Robert

It is a BAD idea.

Nothing will work after that and you will be forced to re-install everything
from scratch. So, just start from ground, do not loose your time ;-)

AFAIK, Exchange 2007 doesn't support domain rename operation.

Hi DmitriG,

I was facing the sample problem, do you have any suggestion for that. My plan is
to

1) Modify the AD attributes, maybe using ADSI edit.

2) Update the PlanManager database; change the commonname field of customer
table.
