All, So when my network was originally created (Novell 3.x) the admin at the time used a /24 address for static AND dhcp range. Fast forward 20 years and we are running out of addresses. I have kept all static devices on /24 but, have setup a new dhcp scope on /22. We have Hp switches connecting everything and Ubiquity edge routers are doing the heavy lifting. i.e. routing between vlans I am testing a few pcs now just to make sure everything is happy. (untagging the new vlan on a few specific ports) Everything works as it should. BUT here is the rub....
When a test machine boots up the user cannot initially log in. (No logon servers available) Logging in as local admin, selecting work network when prompted, then disabling and reenabling the NIC gets the machine back on the domain network with the correct IP from the new scope. Which is horrible to have to do for each pc. I think I can get around it with some router trickery so that everything comes in and goes out on the same interface but, that does not seem like the most efficient. (The MAC address would remain in the same "bucket" for lack of a better word.) Anyone been down this road before and have some words of wisdom? Windows 2008 r2 domain, Win 7 pcs. Thanks, /Chad
