Umm... when you say " I should just be able to change the static IP address the same way you change any Windows static IP" are you meaning going into the NIC properties and changing them there? What about the DNS records, I'm no expert, but wouldn't you want to update those as well or is that what you mean by "change any Windows static IP"???
Maybe I ought to keep my mouth shut as I really have no idea what I'm talking about, but it seems as if you might want to update DNS as well, especially if these are DNS servers. :) -----Original Message----- From: Mike Leone [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, June 01, 2011 4:45 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: How to change IP address of a DC/DNS server? I need to change the static IP of a couple of my DCs (which of course are DNS servers, too). Searching around, it seems that I should just be able to change the static IP address the same way you change any Windows static IP. Yet when I do that, my DNS breaks. dnslint reports "No matching CNAME records". And I still find references to the old IP address in DNS. So what do I need to do, to change the IP address? Is there some special set of step-by-steps that I just haven't found? (I am setting up a lab version of my domains, so I want these 2 DCs to be on a completely different number private subnet .. even tho they are on a virtual switch which completely isolates them from the production LANs, I want to make doubly sure ...)
