The domain rename was completed over a weekend with quite a bit of follow up with the users on Monday morning.
We used the following links for reference:

The project went very well and was nearly seamless for the users on Monday morning.
One thing that the instructions did not cover was how the domain rename would affect Activesync on our Exchange server. We ended up working with Microsoft to make some changes with ADSIEDIT to get Activesync working again. Keep this in mind if you have Windows Mobile or iPhone users connecting to your Exchange 2003 server.
This is the information provided by Microsoft which helped us get Activesync working.
Under Adsiedit.msc > Configuration > Service > Microsoft Exchange > Administrative Group > Server > CN = Exchange (Server Name) Properties
Verified Network Properties
Edited NCACN_TCP_IP value - server.newdomain.Local
Did IISReset and Tested OWA it worked as expected with the From Based Authentication
Tested ActiveSync it worked as expected
