2003 Server/Exchange Server...move to different subnet question

I currently have a 2003 AD network wih one Exchange 2003 server located at
my main office located on subnet 1. We are opening up a new location and i
want to try to get a head start on the servers if i can. The new location
will be subnet B and will be a part of my current AD domain. It will be
connected to my main location via PTP T1. End result is that they will have
their own Exchange server/domain/dns server handling email for the new smtp
domain for the new location. My question, can i install/configure the new
domain controller/Exchange server on subnet 1 using subnet ip infomation
then move the server to subnet 2 without causing any problems in
AD/DNS/Exchange?

Yes you can. All mentioned services (AD, Exchange, ...) can handle a change
of IP address without any problems. I have done it quite a few times for
some of my customers.

My only advice would be to change to end IP addresses before you shutdown
the servers and move them to another network.
