Renaming DFS file Server

Have a file server at a remote site that, due to an organizational
consolidation, "MUST" be renamed. This server is in an active DFS
replication schema. How much damage will it cause to rename it? Thanks in
advance.

Just off the top of my head, not knowing what role the server plays in your
DFS replication, you could just delete the replication group the server is
in (clean up the DFSRPrivate folders on each member) rename the server and
recreate the replication group.
