Hi,<br />
Could you please update on the role of the member server?<br />
If it is an application server, then name of the Hosted Application too.

Hey guys - <br />
<br />
We are replacing an aging domain member server with a new server this weekend. <br />
Any advice/best practices/comments out there for this? <br />
We have already pre-built the new server with a temporary name and temporary IP, and joined it to the domain.<br />
<br />
For the sake of this discussion: <br />
OLDSERVER Name: Server1<br />
OLDServer IP: 192.168.1.115<br />
NEWServer Name: Server1a <br />
NewServer IP: 192.168.1.215<br />
<br />
I am assuming I will: <br />
1. Remove Server1 from domain, and shut it off.<br />
2. Rename Server1a to Server1, reboot<br />
3. Re-IP the newly named Server1 with 192.168.1.115, reboot<br />
4. all is well? <br />
<br />
Any thoughts/comments/best practices? <br />
Thanks!

AD Member server swap

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.

Active Directory

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).
