I'm moving a physical member server from our data center to an office building. The server is a Windows 2008 R2 server and used only within the network. The office is on the same domain but a different network. The server is used to allow staff to access Peachtree software for accounting needs and has Microsoft terminal server licensing. My plan is only to make IP changes on the server and DNS changes on the domain controllers. <br />
<br />
Is there any Active Directory or other needs I need to address before moving it from the data center? Just want to make sure I'm checking off all the boxes prior to the move.

Moving a member server to another location - what pre-req tasks need to be addressed?

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.
