I have started the process of setting up a new domain. I have 2 DCs set up,
but found out I may need to change the network segment the systems are
running on.

As long as I reconfigure DNS correctly, Is it a major deal to change the IP
addresses of the domain controllers or are there going to be bits and pieces
left within AD that would make it more efficeint to just rebuild?

Anyone know of a technet article that addresses this?

thx...
 
Generaly you can just change ip settings on your DC's. If DNS is running on
them, it will automaticaly pick up with new IP address and seervers will
register with new IP address. If DNS server is not on those DC's you have to
make sure, that after IP change, they can still contact DNS servers. Also if
you are running DHCP server, change settings there to reflect new IP scheme.
