SOAP Request

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
               xmlns:tns="http://tempuri.org/">
  <soap:Body>
    <tns:UpdateDomain>
      <tns:AuthenticationTicket>3f2504e0-4f89-11d3-9a0c-0305e82c3301</tns:AuthenticationTicket>
      <tns:DomainName>Finance</tns:DomainName>
      <tns:NewDomainName>FinanceDepartment</tns:NewDomainName>
      <tns:Anonymous>false</tns:Anonymous>
      <tns:Hidden>false</tns:Hidden>
      <tns:WelcomeMessage>Finance Department Document Repository</tns:WelcomeMessage>
    </tns:UpdateDomain>
  </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

Notes

To keep the current name unchanged, pass the same value in both DomainName and NewDomainName.
If NewDomainName is different from DomainName, it must not conflict with an existing domain name.
All parameters (name, anonymous, hidden, welcome message) are updated in a single call — there is no way to update only one property.
The WelcomeMessage supports multi-line text; newlines are preserved.
To archive/unarchive a domain, use ArchiveDomain and UnarchiveDomain instead.

GetDomain - Get current properties of the domain
CreateDomain - Create a new domain
ArchiveDomain - Archive (deactivate) a domain
UnarchiveDomain - Unarchive a domain
