Domain Name Change

[Dermot Beirne]

Hi,
I need to transistion our network from one domain name to another. I will need to have both domains working temporarily and then eventually phase out the old one.
Is there a document that I can follow that will take me through all the files that need changing on a HPUX 10.20 machine.
I have seen people do this before and they miss a critical file change somewhere and sendmail and DNS stop working, etc, etc.

I'm afraid I'll end up missing something important and then not be able to find my way back! I'd imagine someone has already done a tutorial on this as I'm sure it a very common issue.
Thanks a lot.
Dermot.

Hi,

I've found the following document in the docs.hp.com section. It is:

http://docs.hp.com/cgi-bin/fsearch/framedisplay?top=/mpeix/onlinedocs/36922-90043/36922-90043_top.html&con=/mpeix/onlinedocs/36922-90043/00/00/50-con.html&toc=/mpeix/onlinedocs/36922-90043/00/00/50-toc.html&searchterms=domain%7cname&queryid=20010830-050450

Try following "Create or Modify the Resolver File" and "Create of Modify the Hosts File" for more information.

Hope it helps,
Vince
