Changing Single Label Domain Name Structure with .local and msd.local Child domain to just msd.local.


we have forest root being .local , child domain of msd in forest.  our environment mixed windows server 2003 , 2008 r2 dc's, exchange 2003 server , sql 200 server.  there way using active directory domain rename tool allow merge .local , msd.local 1 root level domain msd.local or better create new domain , migrate it?

domain rename tool can used “rename” domain not “merge”.  if goal merge these 2 domains, need perform migration using migration tool.  microsoft has free migration tool called admt:
