How to Rename a Windows 2000 Domain Controller -
Do you have any other Domain Controllers? If so, you're OK. Demote the Server by running DCPROMO, change the name and repromote it. The other DC's will replicate all AD back into it. If you only have one, I would do a system state backup, to back up AD. Then demote it, rename it, and do a Directory Services Restore,
