Question about changing the IP of a Windows DC, that is also acting as a DNS server?

I have two subnets (network A, network B) located within the same single Windows domain site.
Each site has two DCs, which each are running AD-integrated DNS.  
I need to move one server from network B, into network A.    If I change the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway and DNS entries on this server, shut it down, and then bring it back up on network A, should the server automatically register itself
in DNS under its new IP address, and behaving like a normal domain controller in the new subnet?   Or will I need to perform an ipconfig /registerdns on the domain controller once it comes back up in network A, in order for it to be seen as a domain controller/DNS
server under its new IP address?

If you change the IP of the DC, the command isn't going to be a IPCconfig/RegisterDNS.  
DC's register their essential records when the NETLOGON service starts, so restart that.

  • Questions about changing the graphic card

    Greetings I need to change the graphic card that came with my computer Pavilion 500-308nrit's GeForce GTX 745 4Gb with GeForce GTX 960now i have couble questions the graghic card that i'm going to buy has a bigger cooling system so is't going to fit inside the case?the GTX 960 require a minimum power supply with 400W so is't gonna be a problem if i changed the power supply?. and is there is a specific power supply that will work better with my PC? and thank you

    Hi, The specifications for 500-308nr indicate an external 180 watt power supply supply. Is that true?  If the specifications are correct then you will not be able to install an internal power supply.

  • Question about changing a Snow Leopard Server network settings

    We have an Xserve running Mac OS X Server 10.6.8, the primary services running on it are afp, smb, dhcp, dns, jabber and the calendar sever.
    Right now we have a router connecting two networks together, 192.168.0.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24. The Xserve has a static IP address in the 192.168.0.0/24 range.
    In order to combine two phone systems into one I am required to combine the above networks, this will involve removing the router and changing the subnet mask on every device from 255.255.255.0 to 255.255.254.0, any device that is currently part of the 192.168.1.0/24 network will also need to have it's router setting changed from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.0.1. That part should all be easy.
    However, this is my first experience expanding a network past a standard class C and am wondering if there is anything I need to watch for on my Snow Leopard Sever.
    Specifically I wonder about dhcp settings, right now there are two dhcp servers, the Xserve which provides dhcp for 192.168.0.0/24 and the router that provides dhcp for 192.168.1.0/24. Once the router is removed the Xserve will need to provide dhcp for the entire network.
    Looking at the Xserve dhcp configuration right now I have one subnet defined providing addresses 192.168.0.5 to 192.168.0.125.
    Can I simply click the + to add another subnet and add for instance a range of 192.168.1.5 to 192.168.1.125?
    Will it simply give out all of the ip addresses in the first range and then start with the 2nd? Or do I need to find a single range of ip addresses large enough to meet my needs? (e.g. 192.168.1.5 to 192.168.1.225 or something).
    Is there anythign else to watch for after making this type of network setting change?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thank you for your very detailed reply.
    I understand the problems that can arise using 192.168.0.x and 192.168.1.x and if this were a new project I would definitely switch to something else, however in this case we have been using these ip ranges for years (they were in use here long before I started) and I don't want to have to redo all of my dns settings at the same time I make these other changes so I'm going to stick with the same ip's we are using at least for now. Anyone here needing vpn access has already dealt with this issue but we  have very few vpn users so it has not been a major problem for us to date.
    My biggest question is about increasing the size of the dhcp pool. For instance, after I change all the network settings and set up a /23 network is it possible to have a single dhcp pool that includes some ip's in the 192.168.0.x range and others in the 192.168.1.x range? I guess what I am asking is when I am in Server Admin and click on DHCP one of the tabs across the top is "Subnets". Right now there is a single "subnet" configured that provides addresses from 192.168.0.5 to 192.168.0.125.
    Ideally I would like one dhcp pool that provides ip's in the range of 192.168.0.5 to 192.168.0.125 and then if all of those are used up, moves to 192.168.1.5 to 192.168.1.125. Can I do that by simply adding another "Subnet"  so there are two? Or do I have to find one larger single range? (e.g. 192.168.1.5 to 192.168.1.225?) You may have already answered this indicating I have to have a single larger range but I just want to be sure.
    The parts about changing subnet masks, and routers and all that I think I have a pretty good understanding of.
    Your last paragraph is something I have been worried about, I do have a feeling that after making this change there will probably be unforseen issues that will need to be resolved, I'm just hoping it is not too many. For the scope of this thread I will just focus on issues that may arise with the Snow Leopard Server however.
    Again, thank you for your help.

    "You have to change your router's IP address to be able to access it. It will not give you the internet."
    I'm not sure what that means Richard, but I did change the router's IP address from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.5.1- isn't that what you meant in your first post. I know that isn't reflected in my screen capture that I took last night, but I did do that this morning after I read your post.
    "Log on to your router and change two settings.
    Change the setting in Setup from PPPoE to Automatic Configuration-DHCP and click on save.
    Click on Advance Routing and change the setting from Gateway to Router then click on save."
    I did this and still same results as far as I can tell. Can't get online through the router.
    "Click on MAC address clone under setup tab ... click enable & click clone ...click save settings ... Check the IPaddress under WAN page ....
    If getting IP in public range .... try going online ...."
    I tried this- at least to the part about checking the IP address under WAN. I assume you mean the WAN page in the modem setup- nothing looked any different after trying what you suggested, and I'm not really sure where I would be "getting IP in public range" or what that means.
    I'm about to give up and just buy a new router to see if I can get the same lack of results with a different one. My ISP maintains that everything is set up correctly on their end and really can't do anything more for me. The Modem works and is set up correctly and they can give tech support for a router.
    Here's what my basic setup looks like now:

    Or, if you don't like fiddling with Xdefaults file, you can simply make urxvt transparent by executing it like "urxvt -tr -sh 20", where the number represents the transparency level. However, this is only pseudo transparency, but I like it better than resource-consuming compositing.
    Will give it a try. I'm not against .Xdefaults - just haven't used it that much and know only the basics ( color schemes )

    These are user to user technical assistance forums, and nobody here represents Apple or any store.  In order to find out whether you can buy something at a particular store, you really need to find some way to contact the store directly.

  • Changing the colour of frame window

    How can I change the colour of frame window and set some other colours?
    Rony

    Yes I did. I got this code by Rodney.
    JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);
    UIManager.put("activeCaption", Color.RED);
    JFrame frame = new JFrame();It is a good one. But the extreme outer border still looks blue. Also, a window like icon is shown and some dots are shown near to minimize button. How to avoid these?

        DIVAB71,
    Great question. The line access fees for the account are a set amount and can not be changed unless you are going from a basic to a smartphone or vice versa. If you are wondering about adding the month to month discount if you are out of contract Ann154 has provided great information on how to access and add the feature.

    Question about garageband: I have 3 short original songs that i wanted to merge ala "Bohemian Rhapsody". Is that possible in garageband? their tempos are all different from each other. Advance thanks.

    First of all, GarageBand iOS allows for only one tempo and there is no Merge Song feature.
    What you can do.
    Switch between the songs and copy-paste the individual Tracks. You can also Merge Tracks if you run into the 8 Track limitation.
    Hope that helps

  • How do you change the position of email sender so that it's on the left (sender[from], subject and date received)

    How do you change the position of email sender so that it's on the left (sender[from], subject and date received)

    In the Thread Pane where your messages are listed?
    You see that bar with the labels "From", "Subject", "Date" and so on? Well, they are buttons. You can click on them to sort your messages. You can also drag them with the mouse left and right to reposition them, and you can drag their ends to change the column widths.
    These are standard computer actions; you can do all of this in Windows Explorer ("My Computer") too.
    In Thunderbird, a right-click on any of these buttons will reveal a pop-up menu where you can select and deselect the columns to control what is shown.

    How do I change the default apple id (email address) that is prompted on my iPhone? It prompts me with an id that I do not have and cannot access.

    When do you get prompted for this ID? If you are asked for an AppleID
    you do not know during Activation, contact the seller for assistance. Only
    the person who set the Activation Lock can remove it. If the seller refuses
    or does not know the requested AppleID and passcode, return the iPhone
    for a full refund as it is useless. There is no work around for Activation Lock,
    The person who set the lock needs to follow the actions in this link:
    Prepare your device to sell or give away
    You can check if Activation Lock is the problem here:
    https://www.icloud.com/activationlock/
    That link will only tell you if the iPhone is Activation Locked - it will not provide
    any information about the source of the lock, nor can you get any information
    from any source other than the original owner of the iPhone/person who set
    the lock.
