You can use netdom to rename any computer, including a domain controller:
|
1 2 3 4 |
netdom computername <old fqdn> /add:<new fqdn> netdom computername <old fqdn> /makeprimary:<new fqdn> # reboot netdom computername <new fqdn> /remove:<old fqdn> |
However this will leave the attribute msDS-AdditionalDnsHostName with the old name. Check this in ADUC attribute editor (or ADSIEDIT.msc):
Remove the old name and restart.
PS. This fixes not being able to re-use the old name on another computer. You get the error The operation failed because SPN value provided for addition/modification is not unique forest-wide, and you will see the old domain name when you run setspn -l <oldname>. Performing the above attribute changes fixes this.
Thanks, this saved me.
Although, I found that on other domain controllers, where I never renamed a DC, the msDS-AdditionalDNSName attribute does not even contain 1 entry. It is simply “not set” at all. So I tried just removing both entries and that worked as well to solve my “SPN value not unique problem.”

Saved my bacon!!!
There’s so much misinformation out there and I was lucky enough to stumble across your post.
Thank you.
Thank you, I was reading a lot of old info stating this couldnt be done so glad to see you posted this. I had renamed a domain controller improperly and SPN’s were being generated from the old name and couldnt trace it down. This saved me a lot of time!
