Changing NetBIOS name of domain

[columbiavol]

OK, another question. On our AD structure, users log on to the ABCDEF domain. This is the NetBIOS name for the domain that was put in when the AD wizard was initially run. Is there a way to change that NetBIOS name to GHIJKL so that users, when they are logging in, are prompted to log into the GHIJKL domain?

Thanks, in advance, for your help in this matter.

Yes it can be done, but it requires extensive planning. It's not something that you click next a few times and continue on your way.
