AD name change on Windows 2012

Hello everybody,

I'm a bit lost, quit history: had a Server 2008 with AD name DOM-ESTDEV, and all my workstations, multiple Network HD, Printers, Switche's, etc... with this Domain name. All working fine.

I did a clean install of WIndows 2012 Std Server (not upgrade), and during install I put in the domain name DOM-ESTDEV (don't remember if during the install of Server 2012, the setup did automatically put in DOM-ESTDEV.com). I have a DNS & DHCP on the server There's no other server runing on this machine, no Exchange, SQL, etc...

So my question is simple, is there a way to change the name back to DOM-ESTDEV without the .com at the end.
I can imagine the answer is not so simple, so if someone has a quick/simple quick around to this problem, so that all my clients can use the network operations (logon, etc...), It would mean a great deal to me.
Otherwise, I would have to make a new install of Windows Server 2012 again (Still have a doubt, I think the setup program add automatically ".com" after the Domain Name).

Thanks for helping in advance, I'm sure that somebody has a solutions, 'cause your guy's/girl's are geniuses ;-)

Richard
