Just using IPv4 for now.

Will you be using IPv6 and IPv4 or just IPv4?  I had thought of going the both 
route due to the few remaining XP machines and the crapware loaded on them.  I 
also have all DC's as DNS servers with DNS AD integrated.  I have a lot fewer 
machines and I will shortly have most of the DC's virtualized.

Sanity check here on my plan:



I am upgrading the domain to 2008. Not upgrading the servers but bringing up 
new ones and taking down the old ones. I have 5 DNS servers across the campus 
all DC's with integrated AD DNS and WINS. Fast links between buildings, it is a 
large subnetted lan for practical purposes. Most everyone is gone right now, 
tops 30 people on staff at the main building.



Two DC's at the main building with one DNS/WINS server. All my servers and a 
lot of the core stuff have static IP DNS/WINS settings. Clients are all DHCP of 
course.



I am pondering the best way to remove the 2003 DC-DNS and bring up the 2008. I 
am thinking bring the new one up on a new IP and get it all set. After a few 
days just do a quick after hours IP address swap, then reregister the DNS/WINS 
on each and cross my fingers.



I have done IP swaps many times on servers, but never a DNS/WINS server. Anyone 
have any concerns with my plan?
