Windows 2003 AD Problems after Domain Rename

Hopefully someone can help with this,

I just finished performing a domain rename operation in a lab environment. I
want to be sure of myself before completing the operation on a live server,
so I started a new domain rename on the same domain that I had just renamed.

However, I am no longer able to run DSQUERY within the domain. The command
will not finish, it will not return any errors or messages of any kind. I
tried several times, even tried removing and adding the control station back
onto the domain. Still getting the same problem.

It sounds to me like Active Directory got messed up during the operation the
previous time, but I'm not sure of this or how I would fix it. Can anyone
help?

Use dcdiag to troubleshooting.

I did do the clean part of the operation. I had created the DNS forward
lookup zone prior to the operation and to my knowledge it is working
properly. I am able to reach the domain controller from the full DNS name.

I've run DCDIAG and it returned passes on all tests.

it should be a good practice to achieve your previous rename
