Need to change external domain without changing the .local domain

My boss has started a new company and wants to migrate all of our existing
infrastructure to the new company name. I have sinced realized that I cant
change a domain on a SBS 2003 box without completely reinstalling the OS. So
does anyone know how I can change the external domain without changing the .
local domain?

Re: Need to change external domain without changing the .local domain

The SBS box holds one domain. What other domain are you talking about?

This really isn't relevant to Virtual Server, for better results an
SBS2003 newsgroup would be the place to ask.

Re: Need to change external domain without changing the .local domain

I've changed this to followup to the SBS newsgroup.

You can easily change the internet domain name. If all you need is email,
then change the address policies. If you also want to change the name that
folks use for Remote Web Workplace, then you'll need to set the public DNS
records, and then change your certificates, etc. You'll do this by running
the CEICW.
