You will want to do at least the following: - Create new A records for the DCs using the new IPs - Create new reverse entries for the DCs - Ensure that your DNS service is listening on the new IP
I usually change the IP address on each box, making the old IP the secondary IP, then reboot. After going through all the DCs in this fashion, I make the bulleted changes above, one at at time, and then remove the old IP. You can do it all at once, but I find the two-step approach more appealing for me. *ASB *(Professional Bio <http://about.me/Andrew.S.Baker/bio>) *Harnessing the Advantages of Technology for the SMB market... * On Wed, Jun 1, 2011 at 4:44 PM, Mike Leone <[email protected]> wrote: > I need to change the static IP of a couple of my DCs (which of course > are DNS servers, too).
