there is no out of the box tool for domain renaming in Samba. However 
with python-ldb you can do about anything you can think of in an AD. You 
can recreate a new domain with the new name but same domain SID, then 
re-inject all the objects, sid and nt hashes with some python scripting. 
Once you have your new shiny AD, you just have to write a small script 
for windows desktops to join the new domain. If you have done everything 
right,user accounts, groups, profiles and acls should be kept altogether.

Cheers,

Denis
