<div>
Change the IP address of the DC as per the new site subnet<br />
go to active directory sites and services.<br />
create a new site object &nbsp;for the Physical site you have<br />
create a new subnet<br />
associate the subnet with the new site<br />
drag and drop or right click and move the Domain controller from the old site to the new site.
</div>


<div>
Also, you should update other services such as DHCP and DNS. &nbsp;You may need to update the DHCP scope and in DNS make a new Reverse lookup zone.<br />
<br />

</div>


<div>
Please bear with me, never done this before. &nbsp;:)<br />
<br />
1. Create New Site, say, test<br />
2. Create New Server<br />
3. what is the next step?<br />
<br />
Do I need to delete Default-First-site and Inter-Site Transports?<br />
<br />
thanks

You may also want to make sure you transfer your FSMO roles if need be. &nbsp;

<div>
Just a quick question which may clarify and simplify things.<br />
<br />
Are you moving a single AD (there is only 1 domain controller for everything) to a new location and need to change your IP addressing. &nbsp;Or do you have an AD with multiple sites and you are moving the server to a new site within AD?
</div>


<div>
I need to move this DC to a new location. &nbsp;This DC used to be used in my office, we have a new office, and needs a DC there. &nbsp;that new office is a new set up. &nbsp;Not an AD with multiple sites.<br />
<br />
thx
</div>


<div>
Can you keep the IP address for the LAN the same? &nbsp;If yes, then just move everything and it should be OK.<br />
<br />
If you are thinking about Internet IP address then let us know. &nbsp;Changing Internet IP address will normally need just to configure your Router (and/or firewall if you have one).<br />
<br />

</div>


<div>
Just to clarify, &nbsp;will you keep your old office? &nbsp;do you need to add a 2nd office (site) to the system?<br />
<br />
Or is it just a simple move everything to new office? &nbsp;If just a move then no problems.<br />

</div>


<div>
so, if I dont care about the internal ip, right now is set to 192.168.3.X, I can just turn it on on the new site?<br />
<br />
Do I need to <br />
<br />
1. change DNS?<br />
2. can I delete all the ip leases in DHCP?<br />
3. can I change the domain name?<br />
<br />
thanks
</div>


<div>
it is a brand new setup, nothing to do with the old office..thanks
</div>


<div>
A move to a new office, then you don't need to really do anything.<br />
<br />
But, &nbsp;are you running anything that needs Internet connectivity to your server?<br />
<br />
Is any public website installed on your server, do you have a mail server program installed on your server? &nbsp; Do you in any way access your server from the Internet?<br />
<br />
That type of stuf &nbsp;requires updating related to dns and maybe router. &nbsp;If this doesn't apply then it's most likely just a simple move everything and recoonect. 
</div>


<div>
there will be a new firewall as well. &nbsp;no mail server.<br />
<br />
so I need to change DNS, correct? &nbsp;thanks
</div>


<div>
also<br />
<br />
1. can I delete all the ip leases in DHCP?<br />
2. can I change the domain name?<br />

</div>

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

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.
