A third-party certificate is also important, but not the best first step.

I definitely remember that renaming the Active Directory forest is not a good idea, so I think that option can be ruled out right away.

I think we practiced a question about directory synchronization, and I recall that purchasing a third-party certificate might be necessary, but I can't remember if it's the best option here.
