NTP Server External Time source utility. This utility will set your external time sources (NTP Server pools) up on a Windows 2003 server. This takes the headache out of having to edit the registry on all your 2003 servers and it gives you a drop down with all the time pool servers in the world so you don't have to search for them.

Microsoft Domain rename - simple fix for problems after the procedure. PDF Print E-mail

 

So I performed a domain rename recently using Microsoft's "Domain Rename Tools".

I was building a lab domain that needed to be an exact copy of my production AD (active directory). But as the lab runs its own network on a separate Internet connection and is less secure than the production network, I didn't want the "real" domain name available for hackers. In other words if the lab domain got hacked and the AD security info was compromised at least they wouldn't have the production network name to search for.

I'm not going into the procedure for a domain rename if that's what you need you can get the rename procedure document here. Also you can download the domain rename tools here.

But I ran into issues right away after the reboot of the domain controller and I wanted to post my very simple fix for that here. On that note I should say I have completed several domain renames and I have always had this same issue. After completing the
Domain Rename and rebooting the controller the Directory service would not start. There were actual error messages (that I didn't capture) that complained about the domain name. As I started scanning through the registry looking for a cause I noticed that the original domain name was still remaining in many keys. This is obviously a real problem. I researched the issue but couldn't find any real answers. I'm not a 100% on this but I believe the problem may be in the domain name itself.
