Windows 2003 Server change of network address.

All,

I am running Windows 2003 Server with Active directory on the 192.168.0.xxx
network address.

We have recently purchased a new ADSL2+ router that is using 192.168.1.xxx
network address that for some reason is very complicated to change to
192.168.0.xxx.

My question is if I want to change the Windows 2003 Server from 192.168.0.10
to 192.168.1.10 do I just simply change the ip address on the network card
and Active directory & DNS will pick up the new ip and work?

Thanks
Msuk

Is this server a DC on your network? If you are using dynamic DNS
registration, you'll need to restart the Netlogon and DNS Client services on
the DC after changing the IP address. (If it's only a member server, you'll
only need to restart the DNS Client service.)

You may run into an issue with your clients using a cached copy of the DNS
record at first - if this happens, run 'ipconfig /flushdns' on any
problematic clients to flush their local DNS cache so that they'll retrieve
the updated record.
