You don't have to rename per se.
You can rejoin to AD with "ad.corp.com" as your hostname (and entry in
/etc/hosts, which you will need) but if your member servers are on the
same IP and your original DNS preserves your A records you'll still be
able to connect via <servername>.corp.com after a rejoin in ADS mode.
We did it two months ago and didn't have to change any logon scripts or
profile/home dir entries.
