Hello, I am installing Exchange Server 2010 for a self directed study course onto a server I used in my IT class for pretty much everything from a domain controller to web server...but at the start of the year our class had all named our domains with underscores. This is a problem with exchange so I was in the process of following some pretty basic steps to rename the domain...But I guess the guide I found wasn't specific enough, I was unfamiliar with the "gpfixup", so all I entered in the command prompt was just "gpfixup", and then I carried on with "rendom/clean" and "rendom/end".
This obviously did not work and now I am left with a funky domain list.
My original domain was "carter_smn_marconi.edu" and I was trying to rename it to "carter-smn-marconi.edu"
My list now looks like this (not exact, i just edited some list I googled because I am not currently at the server):
and I'm at a loss on how to fix it. Can anyone give me some advice on how I can fix it? I dont care if I have to rename it again to something else...Or would it just be faster to delete and build a new domain?
Cheers.
