We currently have two NT 4.0 servers (PC-class machines)that run DNS/DHCP/WINS. We are in the process of our W2K migration and want to replace these machines with brand new servers running W2K DNS/DHCP/WINS (we will still need a WINS server on our network).
What I would like to do is build the new servers offline with the same IP addresses as the existing NT DNS/DHCP/WINS servers and do a clean swap prior to the DC migration by taking the NT machines offline and replacing with the W2K servers. I do not want to copy any records from the old machines and feel that if I build the new servers with the same records and settings of the old machines I should be OK. Is this correct?
I want to do this so that I don't have to reconfigure my static IP and DHCP settings.
Can anybody foresee problems with this plan? Thank you in advance for any help.
