- Hi. Are you looking to rename your existing .com domain to a .local domain? That's not recommended for a few reasons:

If you're just looking to rename a domain, the steps are here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2008-R2-and-2008/cc794869(v=ws.10)?redirectedfrom=MSDN
