Re: Changing ADAM DNS and IP

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



1. I installed a stand alone Adam machine. after installation, I renamed
the Machine, Changed it's domain group and changed it's IP address. Will
it still work?

Test it and see.

You'll probably find that ADAM is fine. The only problem will be with the
default administrator account and the default permissions, as they are based
on the account specified during installation.

If you change domains, this could be an issue.

I'm ignoring the rename here, as that is covered next...


2. I have 2 Adam instances with replication. what will happen if I
rename one of the machines or change it's domain? what will happen if I
change one of the machine IP?

Test it and see. This is the beauty of ADAM.

I would imagine that ADAM will break with the rename. You'd need to modify
some DNs, e.g. the NTDS Settings object, within the config NC.

I don't know whether or not this is supported. Lee, Eric, Dmitri or Joe
will know...
