Change IP Address of FSMO role holder

Question

I am moving the IP Address of an existing 2008 domain controller to a new 2016 domain controller. The 2016 domain controller has already had all of the FSMO roles assigned to it. Will it cause a problem if I change the IP address of the DC that already has all of the FSMO roles or is there anything I should be aware of?

Thanks

Answer 1

Might have some minor disruption. Be sure to delete the old 2008 record from DNS. After doing so do an ipconfig /flushdns, ipconfig /registerdns, restart the netlogon service.

Answer 4

Thanks DSPatrick, I have changed the IP address before so quite comfortable with that. Was more concerned of the impact of changing when the DC is the FSMO role holder.
