Answer 2

Hi,

As DSPatrick mentioned, renaming the DC will cause some unexpected problems.
If the problematic DC is PDC, you may try to size the role from other good DCs.
Transfer or seize FSMO roles in Active Directory Domain Services

And then do a metadata cleanup for the one has issues from the good DCs.
Best Regards,

Answer 3

Renaming a domain controller can be problematic if not done correctly. Some info here.

A better option might be to transfer roles to a known good DC, demote / decommission problematic DC, do cleanup.

and build a new one with correct name.
