Are you running Longhorn Server Beta in the Domain?

You can user RENDOM from Microsoft to rename domains and thus move them between trees in the forest, however you CANNOT make changes to the forest root domain. If indeed you need to make changes to the FOREST ROOT DOMAIN you will need to remove AD totally (including child domains) and reinstall AD from the start.

Are you sure this is what you want to do? Or could it be that you gave us wrong details in your question?

Next time use the correct forum.
