I have to change the IP for the lan, it was 192.168.100.x and now is going to be 91.0.0.x. I have win2k and active directory, there is a special document or something to do before to do the change?

Thanks
 
I do not believe that there is a document for this. If you change the IP
address of the DNS server then you need to make sure that all DCs, member
servers and clients are aware of the change. If the clients use DHCP then
you can update the scope options to send out the new address. The clients
with static DNS entries will need to be manually updated. If the DNS server
is also a DC then you will need to make sure that the SRV and host records
have been updated in DNS and that the old records no longer exist.
If you have secondary DNS servers that point to this server then you will
need to change the secondary zones so that they point to the new address of
the primary zone.

Changing IP address of the DC alone is not problematic, as netlogon service
will reregister its new IP address in DNS server after IP change (restart
netlogon manually to be sure). You must make sure, that if you have sites
setup, you must update information there + if your clients are using this DC
as DNS/WINS server you have to point them to this new IP.
