Hi Friends,

I need to rename the computers in my domain. There are more than 200 computers in our network. Is there any way to change the computer name from Active Directory. I really appreciate your help in this.

You're going to have to visit every computer and rename.

@ex_bubblehead.... I don't think that is the only solution. I'm sure there is some other way to do it from the AD. :(

No, there isn't. If you rename from the server side you will break the trust relationship. Renames must be done from the client side.
