renaming domain

We have a small site where we want to rename the domain and bring it into
our domain.
current names are as
domainx.local -holds SQL server cluster
domainx.net -main domain
we want to bring domainx.local into the domainx.net AD.
will will rename and migrate. Are there any tools for SQL2005?
we were planning on using the microsoft domain rename tool and ADMT3.
Any other issues with SQL?
Regards

SQL itself doesn't really care what domain it is in, as long as all of the
resources and servers it has to access are still accessible the way they
were before. The only thing you will have to update is the windows service
accounts if any of them are from AD and not the local machine. Will it be
renamed or are you moving to a new domain while the old domain remains up
for a short period of time? If the latter I would recommend setting up a
trust and switching the accounts, or understanding that you might have blips
in uptime/availability.

I assume that the machine names for the SQL Servers are not changing?
If you have granted logins to domain accounts or groups then you may need to
change them see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/298897/
