Hello,
I have a couple of DNN hosts (5.6.1)  using Active Directory authentication: since customer now wants to rename the AD domain, I am to understand what I'll have to do to let these sites work properly on the new domain.
Of course I'll have to reconfigure AD and rename user accounts (stored as DOMAIN\Username, to be renamed to NEWDOMAIN\Username), but would this be enough? Will I be able to keep existing configuration and users' profiles?

Thanks for any help,
Alberto.

Alberto: While I can't confirm if this will work (as it's hard to setup a test environment), it sounds like it'll work, as long as the server where DNN is hosted continues to be part of the renamed domain.

Dear Ash,
thanks for your answer. My worst doubt is about users - don't want to loose accounts and/or having to reassign privileges once the new domain is up -, but it looks like it should work... I'll report the outcome of such operation when we'll try it.
Thank you,
alberto.
