Can I change my domain name?

[macs4ed]

Is it possible to change my domain name on the OD master? I need to change from old.mysite.org -to – new.mysite.org

If what you are asking is, “can I change my hostname” the answer is yes.
You can use the “changeip” command from the CLI. Check the manpage for exact syntax, depending on your configuration. Keep the IP addr the same for both entries, just change the hostname.

I had to do this at a client and Apple had me demote the machine to a standalone server (we hadn’t done much, if any, configuration of user accounts) and then promote it again after the change, but I don’t think this is a requirement.
