When renaming a windows computer, if you receive error 53 "Network path not found", then check your DNS Suffix search list.

In a multi-domain environment there may be multiple DNS suffixes which may make it impossible for the workstation to be renamed if joined to a domain.

== Solution ==
Change the DNS Suffix search order and make sure the primary domain is at the top of the list.

== How ==
Go to TCP/IP Properties
Click "Advanced"
Click the "DNS" tab
Add the domain the workstation is joined to, to "Append these DNS suffixes (in order)" section
