I need to set up DC for my branch office in my main office.I set him up here
and then take him to another town.Ip adrress will be changed.How can i do
this without affecting on my active directory?I found somewhere this on
internet butt i forgot where:)))
 
Is it Windows 2000 or 2003?

If it's a Windows Server 2003 you can install it on site with 'Install from
Media' feature, this way you don't have to change IP.
There is no problem changing IP on the DC as long as you also change it in
relevant services like DNS, WINS etc... If you use DDNS the most things will
be taken care of automatically.

It's Windows 2000 server which will be a domain controller i remote site.I
must set it up here in main office,then turn it of and then take him to
remote site(another town).My question is will this be a problem?
 
Nope, as long as you change the setting in DNS and WINS you're fine.

as long as communication is no problem and the servers can talk you will
change the ip address and add a reverse lookup zone in DNS for the new ip
subnet. This is all you should have to do.
