RE: Changing IP adressing on Win 2003 servers.

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


Dear Jim,

Thanks for posting here. This is Morgan from Microsoft and will be
assisting you on this issue.

SBS server is special as it is pre-configured with other services such as
ISA, Exchange, DNS and so on. The SBS Changing IP Address wizard is
specifically for SBS environment.

For non-SBS servers and this Windows Server 2003 is running the critical
services, like Directory service, DNS, DHCP etc, we need to perform the
adjustments manually. Also, please note that changing IP subnet scope will
also be a very complicated project. Basically, we need to consider:

1. All computers' IP address should be changed correctly.

2. Related services such as DHCP, DNS, WINS, RRAS, ISA (or 3rd party
firewall application), etc., should be adjusted.

3. We should clean DNS cache on all computers and point the computers to
use the correct DNS and WINS servers.

4. All computers should register their new IP addresses with DNS and WINS
servers.

5. For some shortcuts, or other related applications settings that locate
target computers using their IP addresses instead of using FQDN, we must
adjust them manually.

Two notes:

1. If possible, establish a similar test environment (with similar
applications and services) to practice the procedure.

2. Please schedule non-business time to perform the IP subnet change.

We mainly support break-fix issues in the newsgroups, if you need a more
detailed action guide, please consider Microsoft Advisory Services to
design a solution specifically for your environment and requirements.

Microsoft Advisory Services is a remotely-delivered, consultative support
option that adds the element of proactive support, and provides a
comprehensive result beyond your break-fix product maintenance needs. More

I hope this helps.

Thanks and have a nice day!
