Alternately, you could stop the server, and edit the dse.ldif file directly, and just change the name of the AD host. That might work - the DS uses the AD DirSync control to sync with AD - if the hostname/IP address is part of the cookie, then incremental sync from AD to DS might fail - in that case, you would have to re-init the sync (which is what you would have to do anyway if you delete and add the agreement). > > thanks, > >
