Domain Controller Multiple Ip Addresses

Domain controller multiple ip addresses. I have made all the adjusts throughout the domain exchange gc roles etc and close to ready to run dcpromo. I ve been running all four of them while i m transitioning but i think i m ready to remove the old servers. I have 2 domain controllers that still have the 192 addresses as secondary ip addresses on their single nics.

Can a domain controller have 2 static ip addresses. I am demoting the pdc in the domain. New ip address saving.

If you have multiple ip addresses on a nic the adapter will register multiple a host records for the domain controller. If that connection fails the application won t go back to the first step and query the dns again only if coded explicitly to do this. The name of the domain controller will be resolved to one of the ip addresses randomly.

The configuration wizard has automatically configured the dns settings according to the general recommendations from microsoft. The value for preferred dns server remained the same the ip address of the windows server 2003 but as alternate dns server was set the loopback ip address of the newly promoted domain controller windows server 2012 r2 i e. In most cases it is not a problem.

I m replacing my two existing domain controllers with new ones. Dhcp server options and all other servers are already looking to the new 10. Then it connects to that ip address.
