Windows 2003 to 2012 -- keeping same server IP & name ?
I am going to replace my 2003 server
which does DNS, FileServer, etc functions
with a 2012 server over a weekend
and want to keep the same
1. server IP address
2. server name
3. server share names
I assume this is easily doable since
the below links talk about it, after
everything has been replicated I would
change the IP/name of the OLD machine
to "nameOLD/IPsomethingElse" and change
the IP/name of the NEW machine from
"nameNEW/IPNEW" to "nameOriginal/IPOriginal" ?
** If not, what do you recommend ?

This sounds like you're asking for a lot of trouble. What reasons do you have to want to stay? I've done a 2003 > 2012 multiple times and it is super easy and painless. It seems a lot more painful to do it the way you want to.

I have about 50+ static IP servers, clients, Cisco switches, printers, etc that all use my current Windows 2003 IP address as their primary DNS server and \\servername\share as lots of their fileserver shortcuts.
What do you recommend when dealing with that if you do NOT recommend keeping the same servername and IP address when migrating from a Windows 2003 32 bit machine to a Windows 2012 64 bit machine ?
