I've not done it, so far I've followed my preference of simply rebuilding the domain..as they've been small enough to justify the cleanliness of re-building/replacing a server, and taking the existing workstations..copying their old profiles to a neutral spot, joining the new domain, and copying in their old profiles.
However...I have a scenario coming up soon..where I think I won't have that luxury. 25 or so remote laptops that VPN in. So I may have to revert to doing a domain rename. (yeah..one of them has a domain in the .com convention...theirdomain.com )
Single domains, no childs or anything like that.
No Exchange server yet...one is coming down the road...I plan on shoving SBS2K3r2 into the mix in a few months.
4x existing servers....all are 2K3...only 1x is DC...other 3x are just members, 1x for database (Progress), 1x for accounting apps (MAS90, Blackbaud), last one is antivirus management console/mirror)
Approx 60x clients.
Just looking for feedback.."yeah..done it many times..painless"....or "watch out for...<this>"
