Be aware of a problem when renaming domain controllers

If you have renamed a Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2008 R2 domain controller you should be aware of  a problem. The problem is that a DFSR object is not renamed to the new name. This does not cause any problems until you remove the domain controller in question and after doing a demote or cleaning it up with metadata cleanup the object will become orphaned. So if you have renamed 2008 or 2008 R2 DCs you should follow the steps in KB2001271 to fix this.
