And if it is a WINS or DNS server that highlights a good reason for using DHCP to hand out IP information from a central location; rather than hard-coding that information at each workstation.
Making these kinds of changes is much easier with DHCP. -Ben- Ben M.

It is a WINS Server 2. It is a DNS Server In those cases you will need to repoint any machines hard coded to the old IP. Other than that, once the ip changes, make sure it gets updated in DNS/WINS ok and verify that the IP address is assigned to the proper site. joe -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of George Arezina Sent: Tuesday, December 16, 2003 3:25 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] DC IP Address Hi guys, Can anyone tell me if they had a problem after changing the ip address on a DC? What we are facing is a major network reconstruction, and the network address scheme may change. Therefore, I may need to change an ip address of a DC already in function.
