Perform Domain Rename

Question

Hi Everyone,

I had performed a domain rename earlier but the DNS Zone name and the Domain name are different. Now the DCs are not pinging each other and are neither replicating amongst themselves. When running repadmin /replsum, it gives error 58 in the replication.

How do I resolve this?

Thanks

Answer 1

Make sure that your DNS namespace and AD domain name match (create a new DNS zone).

Otherwise you'll need to implement disjoint namespace.
