    I have a batch of computers that have been added to the domain and need to change the computer name. Should I need to exit the ad domain and modify the name before adding the domain again? Do I have any information about it? What is Microsoft's official proposal to change the name of the computer in the domain?

    Hi wick.kwan,

    There is no need to exit the domain to rename the computer. We could refer to the following script to change the computer's name.

    Rename the local computer:
    Rename-Computer -NewName "Server044" -DomainCredential Domain01\Admin01 -Restart
     
    Rename a remote computer:
    Rename-Computer -ComputerName "Srv01" -NewName "Server001" -DomainCredential Domain01\Admin01 -Force


    Regards,
    Rita
