Administering domains is done using two consoles:

Active Directory Users and Computers

Use this console to

create
and manage objects within a domain, such as OUs, users, computers,
and so on. (This tool was discussed under

Active
DirectoryTools earlier in this chapter.) Most
day-to-day administration of domains involves using this console to
create users, reset user passwords, and similar stuff.

Active Directory Domains and Trusts

Use this console to change
the domain and forest
functional levels, transfer the domain-naming master role, manage
external trusts between domains (including trusts with downlevel NT
domains), and specify alternative UPN suffixes for domains. These
aren't everyday tasks and need to be performed only
when requiredfor example, during different stages of migrating
your NT network to WS2003.

In addition, the

Rendom utility can be used to
rename domains and restructure your forest, as described earlier.

Rendom can be downloaded from
Microsoft's web site at
www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/downloads/.
