Hi all,

I currently have a Windows 2000 Server running as the PDC providing mainly
File/Print Services within a relatively simple enviornment. The Server is on
Service Pack 2. It is running DHCP and is running as the DNS server as well.
Active Directory is also running which replicates with a another 2000 backup
server.

My Question is....I need to change the internal LAN IP address of this
server (Not the Host Name). Is this as simple as just changing the IP
address on the NIC or is there more to it than that? What are the
implications on the domain including active directory and user authentication
etc after changing the IP.

Any assistance or reference would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
