Hi there, I m new here.
Btw we have a data center where we have a domain up and running and stuff. So our servers are all running under a set of ips along with 3 other different VLAN segments for end users.
Now the problem is, we are needed to change the ips of the servers including the domain controller, cause we are gonna link up few remote offices with leased lines (one of our other remote office servers happen to have same ip sets so we need to set different ips for routing purposes).
So is changing the ip on the domain controller mainly possible, if it is will there be any problems after that and what should we do to overcome those problems?
Thanx a bunch for your help.

If you have DDNS, just force a DNS registration on the DC after the move.

ipconfig /registerdns

It would be prudent to check DNS to ensure all service records are correct following the move. DCDiag can do that.

Well actually the domain controller itself is the DNS server and it's internal.
So are there any problems with this?

Make sure that all servers and clients are repointed to this as the DNS server either through DHCP, or manual entry where applicable. Don't forget to update any forwarders, etc. Last but not least, don't forget to repoint the dns server to itself properly.
