I installed and configure an AD environment under delegation of my company's
existing DNS server, say, childdomain.mycompany.com. Within this delegated
zone, AD infrastructure is implemented with DCs, DNS, DHCP, TS, etc ... The
DNS structure is:

subdomain1.childdomain.mycompany.com with 2 DCs running AD integrated DNS
delegated by the AD-root DNS

subdomain2.childdomain.mycompany.com with 2 DCs running AD integrated DNS
delegated by the AD-root DNS

During the testing period and pre-production, all DCs are on the same
subnet. However, I have to move 2 DCs of the
subdomain2.childdomain.mycompany.com to another subnet, in other words, I
have to change IP addresses for the 2 DCs, modifying DHCP scope. I'm just
wondering the consequence and any precautionary actions / steps I should take.

Thanks in advance for any solutions. ;-P
