D:\>cd (enter the path of adprep32.exe)

D:\adprep32.exe /forestprep

Once above command is completed successfully move to window server 2008 (New Server)

DOMAIN RENAMING PROCESS

Step 1

Syntax: netdom computername <currentDC FQDN> /add:<newDCName FQDN>

C:\>netdom computername serverdc1.lab.local /add:

serverdc21.lab.local

Run repadmin command

Use Adsiedit

Step 2

netdom computername <currentDC FQDN> /makeprimary:<newDCName FQDN>

C:\>netdom computername serverdc1.lab.local /makeprimary:

serverdc21.lab.local

the computer object attribute msDS-AdditionalDnsHostName will now have the value of the original Domain Controller name, in the above example serverdc1.lab.local.

Reboot the Domain Controller.

 

Step 3

Syntax: netdom computername <newDCName FQDN> /remove:<oldDCName FQDN>
