The original domain environment has a 2008R2 AD server. First, add a 2019 server AD and upgrade it to the main domain server. The original 2008R2 AD server is downgraded and shut down. Can the IP of the new 2019 server AD be directly changed to the IP address of the original 2008R2 AD server?

    Yes, it isn't a problem to do so, just do an 

    ipconfig /registerdns

    after change to minimize disruptions.
