Rename a Active Directory Domain

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.active_directory (More info?)

Hi,
I've configured a domain called "mydomain.it" with Active directory of
windows 2000 server.
Now I must rename this domain in "mydomain.local" .
how can I do?
I find a rename tool but is only for windows 2003.... how can I rename my
windows 2000 domain????
Thanks a lot.

I agree with Ryan, I just want to add that if you're using a 3rd party
solution. Make sure it's a Microsoft supported tool. You don't want to end
up loosing your support benefits just because you used the "wrong" 3rd party
tool.

Regards,
