Dear all:

I installed Windows 2003 on a server and made it the primary domain server
for a small 15 user network. The problem is I entered the domain name as MISI
and the fully qualified name as corp.mesopotamia.com. Now the company needs
to change the MISI to MISL and the corp.mesopotamia.com to
headoffice.mesopotamia.com.
Could you please help?

Many thanks and happy holidays,

Norman
 
Happy new year.
I received the following error message when running rendom /upload:
C:\DOMAIN~1>rendom /showforest
yvr.ipackets.com [ForestRoot Domain, FlatName:IPKL]
DomainDnsZones.yvr.ipackets.com [PartitionType:Application]
ForestDnsZones.yvr.ipackets.com [PartitionType:Application]

The operation completed successfully.

C:\DOMAIN~1>rendom /upload
Couldn't find a GC for the enterprise. Please ensure that there is a
contactabl
e GC in the forest and try again..
Cannot connect and bind to the Domain Naming FSMO. Cannot Continue.: The
specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted. :1355

C:\DOMAIN~1>

I did a search but couldn't find a specific solution for this problem, but I
found an article about testing Active Directory using dcdiag and the results
don't look good:
