Hi,

We have a Domain Controller in our branch office.
Now we want to change the network address of the branch office.
For this, it is clear that we have to change the IP of the DC running in
that site.

So, I want to know whether I change easily the DC 's IP without any problem.
Is there anything to be taken into account or any steps to be followed for
this operation?

Thanks for help in advance.
Ali Kemal.

Re: Changing the Domain Controller IP

Hello ali,

When you have changed the IP restart the DC and check that the DNS record
is updated correctly. Also do not forget the clients DNS if the DC is also
DNS server, either the fixed IP or the DHCP scope options.
After the machine is up again, check with dcdiag, netdiag and replmon for
errors. Also have a look in the event viewer for errors and warnings.

Best regards
