Just using IPv4 for now.

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.

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.
