Changing Domain name

Okay let me do a fast explanaition of what we are doing
We are looking for the correct way to change domain name space
For example
Let say we have example.com in our domain which it should be example.local

Anyone got documentations of which is the correct way to do that? or anyone have done it before?

Thank you

Domain Rename Technical Reference: Active Directory

From your "example".local lol. It appears that you are taking a .com web space and making it a local site? Not renaming a domain forest? If this is the case I'm not sure what your question is. Need more input.

If renaming the forest, then according to dynamiks reference then just rename the root.

It may be just a poorly named internal domain name. We had that in a company I used to work for. They named the internal network xx.com and the public facing domain xx.com.au. I think that was kinda common a few years back.
