Adding 2 diferent ip address in a domain

Hi there,

The company is changin ISP for Internet and private conections.

By this we are going have to change ip address in the sites.

For example, in HQ where the domain controler is, we will have to change to
192.168.1.X ip address, and in the warehouse we will have to change to
192.168.2.X ip address.

Now the Question is , when we try to add the warehouse computers to the
domain it will locate the DOM_HQ (domain) while having a diferent ip? Do I
have to manual configure IP
address in machine first to add it? Or do I have to add to the file in
(C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc) hosts and lmhosts the server name and ip
address?

And what do I have to do on the server side to acept to diferent set of ips?

Much apreciated.

Hi Andre,

Clients rely on Active Directory DNS service for finding domain controllers
(domains), so what you have to make sure once you change IP addresses that
all appropriate records are updated in DNS server. Don't forget to change IP
settings (DNS settings) on client to point to right (new) IP address for DNS
server if IP address of DNS server changes.
When you change IP address of domain controller and reboot it (or e.g.
restart Net Logon service) it will update DNS server records with new IP
addresses. So in this case -- clients should not have any problems locating
domains (domain controllers).

Unless you have some filtering enabled (e.g. firewall) you don't have to do
anything for the server to accept new IP addresses. It will accept them
automatically.
You might want to change sites configuration (Active Directory Sites and
Service) to reflect your IP addresses changes.

Let us know if you need any further assistance or if you have any further
questions regarding this problem.

Changing ISPs has nothing to do with your LAN and joining machines to a
domain.
