This post will show you how to use command line to rename your domain controller to alternate name. Note that alternate name must be available for DC we want to operate against. Lets say you have domain controller named “TestDC1″ with alternate name “TestDC2″ assigned to it. If you want to make “TestDC2″ primary name for your domain controller open command line on your Windows server 2003 and type:
netdom TestDC1 dc /makeprimary:TestDC2.testdomain.com
Note that netdom is part of Windows server 2003 support tools. They can be found on your OS CD (Support\Tools directory) .
