Re: Changing Server IP Address

You have stale DNS Records. Examine every DNS record that has the old IP#.
Don't just automatically delete them,...you may just have to edit them
depending on what they are.

Remove any WINS entries that still use the old IP#.

Then right-click on the Zone Name and choose Properties.
go to the Name Servers Tab and make sure the contents are correct.

I would agree but I can't figure out where.

There are no old_ip records in the DNS and no other pc is using old_ip.
I have searched the registry for old_ip and found no references.
Dcdiag states my server resolves from old_ip but can't be reached by ping.
I don't know where dcdiag is resolving the old_ip. The rest of dcdiag
looks
good.

I noticed in the group policy mgmnt editor that only the sid's show up
under
the security filtering section. If you try to remove the object you get
"network path not found" error, like it is trying to use a GUID from
old_ip.

The only error on replication happens when the ForestDnsZones trys to
contact the
server: DsBindWithCred to SERVER1 failed with status 1722 (0x6ba):
The RPC server is unavailable.
Every hour, since the removal of old_ip, I get 3 Global Catalog errors,
1869 (located gc), 1655 (attempt to communicate with gc & was
unsuccessful),
1126 (use dc locator to find available gc).
Clearly my SERVER1 has a problem.

Could I have some orphaned GUID's or Cname records? If so where?

Please let me know if you can think of something to resolve this.
Any help is appreciated.

Sounds like DNS issue. Have you checked the DNS record to make sure no
old
computer uses old IP? Or use dcdiag to check any errors.

I had to retire some subnets due to the sale of our company.
I put the new_ip as the preferred dns and added the old_ip as a second
ip
under the advanced tcpip setting -> ip setting. Rebooted the server.
All of my static ip clients could now see both ip addresses and login
with
no problems.

Now to my problems.
It now takes 3-5 minutes to get a desktop at the server console or when
using terminal services when I remove the old_ip address from the nic
.
Also, the group policy management editor shows no computer or user
polices
defined when I run a report and runs real slow. Last, the event viewer
has
directory service errors complaining that the server's global catalog
was
found but could not communicate with it. (The server is still listed as
a
global catalog under AD sites and services.)

I know if I put the old_ip back in place everything will start working,
which is not an option. What do I need to do to fix these problems?

Thanks..
