After I setup my server running on WIndows Server 2003, configured AD, DNS,
etc., can I still change the domainname.local?

We've got Win2K3 SBS SP2 and Exchange 2003 SP2 with a single server...
So,
1) should we put our Exchange 2003 SP2 on a new server and rename then
2) rename with Exchange 2003 SP2 on our same server
3) something else?
Our domain was setup with .net rather than .local, so our rename is on the
..net to .local.
What if we rename the domain from abc.net to xyz.local? Single step rename?
What are the implications if we mess things up? Or is it possible to mess
things up?
TIA

Yes, presuming W2003:

......if you run Exchange, this can be trickier.

Earlier versions? Only with a complete reinstall.
