Hi RAJDV
Welcome to the Community!
Are you trying to change just the DC address or you are connecting an entirely different DC? I just tried changing the Address of our AD and it did not ask for me to change the NetBIOS name.

Does your hostname include an _ character?
Technically that's not compliant with the RFCs (though in many cases it works ok). Netgear improved their error checking on hostnames fairly recently, and that might be getting in your way.
If you do have a non-compliant name, you will end up having to change it.
