Change IP Address of DC (DSN and DHCP Server)

Because we are changing our IP addressing scheme, our domain controller
(which runs DNS and DHCP) address must be changed. I'll need to create a new
scope on the DHCP server. Is there anything to do with the DNS server? We
have a small LAN with one server. Clients are all 2000 and XP Pro; server is
2000 server SP3 running Active Directory, DSN, DHCP (no WINS).
Thank you,
David

Just have to ensure, once you change over to the new IP range, that the DCs
register their new IPs. One way to insure that is to run this as soon as you
change the IP on the DC(s) in a CMD prompt:
ipconfig /registerdns
net stop netlogon
net start netlogon.

For the clients, after you delete the old range, and create the new range,
you can just do:
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
(or just restart them).

Once you do all that, check DNS to make sure they are all registered. Don't
forget to create a new reverse zone for the new IP range. Enable updates on
it too.
