Re: Domain resource migration considerations

Hello Ashenafi,

For SQL move start here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/269196

Don't know if renaming SQL is a good solution:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143799.aspx

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...9(SQL.90).aspx

I would ask this in a SQL NG, there are some but start here:
microsoft.public.sqlserver.server
microsoft.public.sqlserver.setup
microsoft.public.sqlserver.tools


For file server use the FSMT:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserv...ocs/msfsc.mspx

A file server rename is not that kind of problem. But how does you connect
your users, when not using mappings or logon scripts?

Best regards
