Hi Christoph-
We do highly recommend that you set up a test environment that mimics your
production one to help plan this out first. This can help stumble across
any unique, unforeseen situations that are a result of your environment in
particular.
In my experience, one of the most common reasons I end up speaking with a
company directly is a result of a migration going in an unexpected manner
due to a lack of testing prior to implementation. I will now step off the
soap box :) .
Having said that, there is a link below with a case study of a company that
consistently uses this feature. If we can help assist any further please
repost.

Post by Christoph OhligerHi Tim,
thanks for the answer, but i am searching for projects in
reality. Every answer i have heard is like the one of
Bob ... be careful and build a test environment. So for me
the rename tool is a more theoretical solution. Building
the test environment and than converting the online
environment with no turn-back I need a 100% secure
mechanism. The time for building a test environment and
doing the change is imho the same effort than make a new
installation of ADS.
I will be glad to hear any further comments !!
Regards
Christoph
