Correct. <http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc794931(WS.10).aspx> To change the static IP address of a domain controller Log on locally to the domain controller whose IP address you want to change. Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, click Server Manager, and then click View Network Connections. In the Network Connections dialog box, right-click the appropriate connection, and then click Properties. In the Connection Properties dialog box, double-click Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) or Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6). In IP address, type the new address. In Subnet mask, type the new subnet mask if it has changed. In Default gateway, type the new default gateway. In Preferred DNS server, type the address of the Domain Name System (DNS) server that this computer contacts if it has changed. In Alternate DNS server, type the address of the DNS server that this computer contacts if the preferred server is unavailable. If this domain controller uses WINS servers, click Advanced, and then, in the Advanced TCP/IP Settings dialog box, click the WINS tab. If an address in the list is no longer appropriate, click the address, and then click Edit. In the TCP/IP WINS Server dialog box, type the new address, and then click OK. > 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"??? >From what that webpage I linked above seems to indicate, the DNS server should (mostly) update itself (besides Forwarders and DNS delegation). > 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. :) They are DNS servers, yes. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
