We have a customer who bought out another company and merged. <br />
<br />
Right now we have both companies in the same building. they are both on different routers and different IP' ranges. <br />
192.168.16.0 and the other is 192.168.1.0<br />
<br />
They both have their own domain controllers. <br />
<br />
We are going to be bringing them on all the same network.<br />
<br />
The company that was bought out uses a sql database program called Miracle. <br />
all the client workstations have the Miracle executable and it is pointing to the database of the server using the Host name not the IP of the server. <br />
<br />
Our question is is it possible to demote the server which is now a DC and add it to the main network at a child server?. <br />
<br />
or can we just bring the server to the other network as a DC but turn off DHCP and DNS server?

How to merge 2 domains together

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an auto configuration protocol used on IP networks and an extension of the Bootstrap Protocol. DHCP allows for computers to be configured automatically to communicate with each other over an IP network without the need for manual setup by a network administrator. The implementation of DHCP relies on a DHCP server to hand out network configuration information to DHCP-capable clients that request an IP address (and other information required or useful in communicating with other devices on an IP network). In addition to an IP address, common configuration information served over DHCP includes a default gateway, subnet mask and DNS sever(s).

DHCP

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.

SQL (Structured Query Language) is designed to be used in conjunction with relational database products as of a means of working with sets of data. SQL consists of data definition, data manipulation, and procedural elements. Its scope includes data insert, query, update and delete, schema creation and modification, and data access control.
