- C. Rejoining the domain before renaming defeats the purpose, as the computer object in AD will still reflect the old name until another rejoin occurs, causing a mismatch that can break roaming profile paths.
- D. Renaming the PC while still joined to the domain without first leaving it can cause computer account trust failures that prevent the machine from authenticating to the domain and accessing profile shares.
