How would SharePoint react to a change of domain name? Only domain name, the rest is the same?

I use SharePoint 2013.

This is not easy task from what i understand. You want to change the domain name for you sharepoint farm, correct?

  • Moving SharePoint Server to different domain is not supported, you have to build the new farm on destination farm then migrate the database to new farm.

But if you are moving users to different domain then it will be different story.

  • The task is to change only name of domain, there won't be new domain, only name will change?
