I have almost run out of IP address, 192.168.0.1 - 192.168.0.254 with normal subnet 255.255.255.0 running AD 2003 (Server 2003 SP2)
How do i add a new Subnet and set-up AD.
most IP address are static but i do run a small DHCP for VPN ext.

It depends what other equipment you have and if you are able to configure routing between the subnets.
For simplicity you may just simply want to change the subnet to 255.255.0.0 which will increase the numbers and allow you to continue to use your existing addresses.
I agree w/ demazter, but still it's a manual job that you would have to do it on all the static ip machine and change the setting in the router. Which bring up another issue whether your router will suppose /16 network. Some cheap router w/ manufacturer firmware won't support it.
Please close this question, None of the answer were correct, The simple answer was to extend the DHCP range.
192.168.0.1 192.168.4.254.
No point sfor anyone.

That DHCP range will not work without adjusting the subnet as I already stated.
Anything with a 192.168.1.x will not be able to communicate with 192.168.4x with a 255.255.255.0 subnet unless you have routing between te Subnets in place.
For simplicity you may just simply want to change the subnet to 255.255.0.0 which will increase the numbers and allow you to continue to use your existing addresses.
