If you are able to, then overlap the ip addresses until propagation completes<br />
if the ip's are of the same subnet, then use the new range as the gateway and allow incoming traffic on the old. <br />
try checking against far away dns servers before removing the current ip's<br />
<br />
As long a you do not lose resolution, you should be ok

Hello<br />
<br />
We are planning on changing the IP address of our two Domain Controllers. &nbsp;These both run DNS and WINS for the domain, and the FSMO Roles are split between the two servers.<br />
<br />
Are there any best practices to follow and should we be aware of anything critical when performing this?<br />
<br />
Thanks

Change IP address of Primary Domain Controllers

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

Windows Server 2003

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.
