You don't need to do either of the first two. Worst case just bounce the box when you're done.

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.

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 ...)
