best if you can use the same name and IP address, this will prevent problems on the network.<br />

Another question regarding this new server install: &nbsp;Licensing??? &nbsp; I can look at either of the two servers (the DC and the Term Server) under Admin tools/licensing, and it shows 15 per device or per user licenses. &nbsp;Am I going to need to purchase and install 15 more licenses for this new DC server?

Your licenses should transfer, may want to call a reseler who sels Server licenses. CDW is a good one <a href="http://cdw.com" rel="ugc">http://cdw.com</a><br />

Scenario: &nbsp;I have two servers (one is a f/p DC running WinServ2003; the other is also a WinServ2003 acting as a terminal server). &nbsp;I am replacing the f/p DC. &nbsp;Aside from transferring FSMO roles and running dcpromo to make the new server a DC, are there any surprises I should look out for? &nbsp;Ideally I would like to name the new server the same as the current DC. &nbsp;Not sure what the best way to do that is. &nbsp;<br />

Replacing DC in Windows network

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.
