Restore AD to another computer

-

hi all

i have ad, server 2003, , it's server hardisk has problem , guess down soon.

i build ad , restore ad backup new server( different hardware), , replace old server. importantly there share drives , it's persmisions

how can ?

my problem map drive users using ip map drive. problem?

since new server must in diffierent ip old server.

if dc not down yet , have sometime left, transfer fsmo role working dc,don't try seize fsmo role. transfer other related services such dns/gc/dhcp etc. dc. shouldn't running dhcp or file server role on dc, not design neither best practice.

if environment small, can configure dhcp on dc, try use member server other services. dc should running gc , dns role apart ad.  running file server on dc huge security risk , time move file server role member server.

changing ip of dc not big deal & can achieved successfully, considering process followed properly.you can reuse same hostname, need rid of old dc, perform clean of removed dc esp, references folder inside _msdcs folder in dns, allow replicate other dc , re-use same hostname. domain controller rename possible, wouldn't recommend domain controller rename approach, instead, if want reuse same hostname, need install new dc fresh.

change static ip address of domain controller  http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc794931%28v=ws.10%29.aspx

note: once move fsmo role esp. pdc, need move time server role other dc going pdc role holder.
