  As you know, you can’t rename cannot rename a domain that has 2007

  Your  best option is a migration. 

  Create a new AD forest with correct name, install Exchange, migrate resources and mailboxes. 

  Resource migration: ADMT

  Hello,

  Exchange 2007 does not support Domain Rename, and there are no plans for a Domain Rename Fixup Tool for Exchange 2007.  Meanwhile, Exchange 2007 can't downgrade to Exchange 2003.

  I agree with Santhosh, given the current situation, the best choice is migrate the current system to a new forest.

  Thanks,

  Elvis
