change ip config

Due to a reorganization on our network I need to change the ip address of
our servers. It is a mixed windows2000 environment with 2 win2000 servers
and 2 NT4 servers. On the win2000 servers I installed AD and DNS. How can I
do this with a minimun risk and what problems can I expect ? Thanks

Hi!

I did this just two weeks ago but our environment is
native 2000. We have 20 servers in 5 sites.
I feared that the DNS and DHCP would crash BUT it didn't.
The procedure was pretty simple (our case). I terminated
the old scopes in the DHCP and activated the new scopes. I
switched IP on the servers and voila.

Things that you need to check:
* Are the sites ok after the mix
* Host files on clients and servers
* Old routing tables
* Flush the dns completely
* Use the Active Directory Replication Monitor to verify

Good Luck!
