hi, Can't change your domain name. You must reinstall your PDC server as pippo1. Only .NET server permited.

That is not true. You can most certain change the domain name in NT. Just change it. You will also have to change the clients to log on to the new name.
Click on Network Neighborhood | Properties and click Change.
