Thanks Joe, Jorge, Jose, Rick, and Marcus for your thoughts and insight. You've validated my thoughts on the matter. Looks like things should go as close to schedule as I can help.

You may find you need to delete the domain 1C record(s) and 1B record(s) [1] and force the DCs to refresh the records through NBTSTAT -RR to get them updated. Obviously anything pointing at the DCs for DNS and/or WINS resolution need to be updated. If anyone was silly enough to point specifically at a DC for LDAP services and was even sillier and used an IP address would need to be updated. joe [1] The (s) is in case of multiple domains being involved. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Grillenmeier, Guido Sent: Thursday, June 23, 2005 4:01 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Site IP Change yep, no reboot required, just need to make sure that you get your DNS straight - could be chaotic if you change the IP addresses of too many DCs at once. Ensure that replication still works before changing the next (may sometimes be required to configure a different primary DNS so that it registers it's addresses with a partner DC) and ensure that you configure in a DC's site clients appropriately to use the new IP address as DNS resolver. /Guido -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Donnerstag, 23.

As good as the TCP/IP stack has gotten with 2003 server, I still feel it's important to reboot with such changes on a DC.

However, there is one more thing that needs to be done. Pull up a command prompt on the DC that you've re-IPed, and type this at the prompt (in its entirety: Net stop netlogon && net start netlogon This will stop the netlogon service, then turn around and restart it automatically. As you might know, the NetLogon service is responsible for maintaining the DNS entries (SRV records, et. al.) and updating those as necessary. The stop/start of the service forces the update to happen 'right now', and will be updated with the new data you've entered. Hope this helps you along in your process. Rick -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nathan Henderson Sent: Thursday, June 23, 2005 11:59 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] Site IP Change We are currently updating our network infrastructure and a part of this is having to change IPs on our internal network. Most devices are pretty simple, but the main point I'm concerned about is changing our DCs. They will all still be in the same subnet just using a different IP range. Is there anything I would need to take care of specially in this situation besides updating DNS information during/after the change to ensure replication between DCs will function? I'm trying to think through possible scenarios or issues that could arise. If anyone has any insight it would be much appreciated.
