we have windows server 2008 r2 domain controllers. the forest and domain functional level is windows server 2003 (it's possible to raise the levels). we have an exchange 2010 server.
i would like to rename the netbios domain name (pre-windows 2000 domain name). i don't touch the dns domain name.
so if i just rename the netbios domain name is there any impact to the exchange organisation?
a best practice for renaming the netbios domain name would be nice.

I have seen this request numerous times in numerous forums. Rather than reinvent the wheel, I want to point you to a blog article written by Ace Fekay that does an excellent job explaining how to perform this task.
