Is is possible to change the pre-Windows 2000 domain name
and if so, how do I do it. This is a single domain
network with two domain controllers, an Exchange 2000
server and a member server I would really like to change
the main domain name but I understand that is impossible.

Do you mean the Netbios Domain name? If you are already running Active
Directory which you are if you have Exchange 2000 this cannot be done.
Windows 2003 would be your only option or going back to NT4 and changing the
name and then remigrating to AD but that would be ugly :)

Actually, he means the pre-Windows 2000 name, which you find in any
user's AD account, under the Account tab in the "User Logon Name
(Pre-Windows 2000)" field.
I have the same problem, and am still looking for a solution.

In the case of a User account's Pre Windows 2000 name you could probably
change it using ADSIEdit.msc from the support tools. As for a domain's
pre-Windows 2000 domain name (the NETBIOS domain name) you would need to be
at the Windows 2003 forest functional level and you could do a domain
rename.
