Hello MarcusB,
You can change the ip of a DC without problem, make sure that it changes the record in DNS after rebooting the server.

I can not change the IP number of our primary and secondary DNS which
are connected to the internet. The DNS server which will be on the
Windows 2008 domain controler need to have the same IP number as the
old one. The reason is that upper DNS server in our ISP provider have
NS records which point to our old DNS ip number.
Is it possible to change IP number of the domain controler without any
problem?

Hello MarcusB,
If your concern is only DNS, then i would add new DC's to the domain.
The servernames are not that important, except you use the names for
some app's that are need to keep the name. If you use AD integrated
zones on DNS, all new DC/DNS servers will get the complete zone
information replicated and are full writable.
Personally i would add new DC's, move the FSMO roles to a 2008 DC,
make all new DC's Global catalog and DNS server. For the clients
change the DNS server ip addresses to the new ones, i assume you use
DHCP, so this is easy done.
If you can describe the need for the same names, maybe we find
another solution without the same name. Ofcourse you can install a
new server, demote one of the old and rename it and change the ip.
Then you can use the free name/ip address for the new server and
promote it then to DC.

The problem is complicated because we would like to move to the new
hardware but on place migration is very atractive. Our domain
controlers should have the same names and should have the same IP
numbers , because they are also DNS servers. Any good suggestion?
THe old domain controlers are running Windows 2003 server standard
eddition. The new will run Windows 2008 Enterprise Edt.
How to move it this situation DNS servers. We can not have longer
stop than 4 hours during the night.
Can we start new server, promote them to Domain controlers and
chaneg IP and name later?

Hello MarcusB,
If you have to keep the names of the DC's an inplace upgrade of the
server is the easiest way. Is the hardware sufficient for 2008?

We have network with 10 windows servers and 2 windows 2003 domain
controlers. Domain is in Windows 2003 native mode.
We want to go to Windows 2008 native mode to have such services
like
new
DFS service etc..
What is the best and simplest way to move to Windows 2008 native
mode.
We will buy new hardware for some servers but the old will remain
for
some time. Our domain controlers are also DNS and DHCP servers and
they
need to ramain on the same IP number.
How to start and go on with the process?
MarcusB
