worked great for me!

there were a few lingering loose ends to tie up (changing the Primary DNS Suffix of the PDC to remove the lingering remnants of the old domain in MMC etc), but so far so good.

My own domain is a tiny home network of 4 machines an a server, and I was running into issues where the internal domain (AD) and external domain(www., mail., etc) were using the same “xxxxx.com” suffix, which lead to me not being able to find http://www.xxxxxx.com internally, since no box in the LAN was named “www”, and this helped divide internal and external DNS.

Thanks for the concise writeup!
