Changing Domain on SQL Server

Problem

I currently have some SQL Servers that sit on a sub-domain. We are eliminating that sub-domain and moving everything to the regular domain.

As far as SQL Server configuration goes, is there anything I need to change aside from potentially using different service accounts?

Note this is simply a domain change - the server name should be the same.

Solution

We did the same thing a while ago. The change went smoothly, we just had to change the various service accounts. We stopped all services before the move, then changed the accounts, then started everything without a hitch.
