Server Admin 10.4 Help

Changing the Server's Windows Domain

Using Server Admin, you change the Windows domain of a server that is a PDC, BDC, or domain member.

WARNING: Do not change the domain name of the PDC server unless absolutely necessary. If you change the name of the PDC domain, Windows workstations that were domain members will have to rejoin the domain under its new name.

  1. In Server Admin's Computers & Services list, select Windows for the server whose Windows domain you want to change.
  2. Click Settings (near the bottom of the window), then click General (near the top).
  3. Enter the Windows domain name, then click Save.
  4. If the server is the PDC, a BDC, or a Windows domain member, you must authenticate by entering the name and password of a user account that can administer the PDC's LDAP directory (not a local directory administrator).
