Никак. Ни на 2000, ни в NT 4 такое невозможно. В 2003 - запросто.

Жаль тем не менее спаиб за информэйшн!!!

How to Rename a Domain Controller in a Domain That Contains a Single Domain Controller
Before you rename a domain controller in a domain that contains a single domain controller, make sure that you take the following information into account:

• If your domain contains only one domain controller and you demote that single domain controller without considering all of the potential consequences, you might lose all of the Active Directory information that is configured for that domain. That information includes all of the user accounts, all of the computer accounts, global catalog information, custom file permissions, and so on. If you lose that Active Directory information, you must manually re-create all of the Active Directory information. The Active Directory information cannot be restored to a member server from a backup. The best practice is to make sure that a domain has at least two domain controllers, to provide redundancy of critical Active Directory configuration information.
  
  To rename a single domain controller and retain all of the Active Directory information that has already been configured, you must install Windows 2000 Server or Windows 2000 Advanced Server on another computer, and then promote that computer to domain controller status in the domain. After Active Directory replication has occurred between the original domain controller and the new domain controller, you can demote and rename the original domain controller. Use the Active Directory Sites and Services Microsoft Management Console (MMC) to force replication if necessary.

  Pay particular attention to issues that pertain to the global catalog and domain master roles before you demote the original server in the domain. The best practice is to manually move the global catalog and operations master roles to the remaining domain controller. Before you demote the domain controller that you want to rename, you must manually make the remaining domain controller a global catalog server and transfer the operations master roles by using Active Directory MMC tools.For additional information about transferring these roles, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
  255690 How to View and Transfer FSMO Roles in the Graphical User Interface
  
  To rename a domain controller in a domain that contains a single domain controller:
  
  1.Install a second Windows 2000 server in the same domain with the server that you want to rename.
  2.Promote this second server to a domain controller either by using the Configure Your Server Wizard or by running the dcpromo.exe command.
  3.Use either the appropriate MMC or the Ntdsutil.exe utility to make the second server a global catalog server and move all of the operations master roles to the second server:
  Using Ntdsutil.exe to Seize or Transfer FSMO Roles to a Domain Controller
  
  You need to "transfer" the roles; do not seize the roles. See the Help file that is included with the Active Directory Sites and Services MMC for instructions about how to assign global catalog responsibilities.
  4.Before you continue, verify that the new domain controller is functioning correctly. Verify authentications and global catalog searches, run the Dcdiag.exe utility against the domain controller, and perform any other appropriate test to verify that the new domain controller will be able to provide all of the domain functions after you remove the original domain controller from the domain. It is also important that you verify that the \sysvol and \netlogon drives are shared on the new domain controller. Run the following command from a command prompt on the new domain controller's console:
  net share
  
  Verify the existence of Sysvol and Netlogon in the list that is generated.
  
  5.Click Start, click Run, and then type dcpromo.exe to demote the domain controller that you want to rename to a member server.
  6.Rename the computer; in System Properties, click the Network Identification tab, change the computer name, and then follow the instructions to restart the server.
  7.Either use the Configure Your Server Wizard or run the dcpromo.exe command to promote the member server back to domain controller status.
  8.Reconfigure all of the operations master roles and the global catalog as necessary.

Был один PDC 2003SP1 (лес и домен в режиме 2003) поставил другой PDC и поднял его до GC путем перетаскивания ролей. Осталось поменять имя. Выполняю команду:

netdom renamecomputer oldname /Newname:newname /UserD:AdminName /PasswordD:* /UserO:AdminName /PasswordO:* /force (даже этот ключ не помогает)

Получаю:

Type the password associated with the object user:

Type the password associated with the domain user:

Указанный домен не существует или к нему невозможно подключиться.

The command failed to complete successfully.

Хотя контроллер домена полность настроен. Сервер с контроллером выполняет все роли. Как заставить сервер поменять имя или как найти ошибку из-за которой он не находит домен?

Домен, в конце концов прибил насмерть и поставил заново. Встала другая проблема. Как быстро переподключить машины к домену. У меня их в сети порядка 30 штук. Делать на каждой процедуру вывода в рабочую группу и ввода снова в домен утомительно. Пробовал использовать команду netdom с ключами join,reset,resetpwd из suppotrtools. Во-первых пишет ответы к win-кодировке в досовском окне (сволочь? но с этим я справился), а во-вторых ну никак не хочет переустанавливать пароль рабочей станции в домене. В основном говорит, что "отсутсвует сервер, который мог бы обработать запрос на вход в сеть". Кому это удавалось, пожалуйста поделитесь опытом.
