Change Nic on Domain Controller

[Guest ChuckN]

I changed the Network Interface Card on a backup Domain Controller. The PDC

and the backup are both running W2K3 Enterprise.

 

Is there anything I need to do to update the PDC so that it recognizes the

new connection?

Nope - presuming you configured it identically to the old one. Is it working

now?

 

Note that there's no such thing as a PDC/BDC in Active Directory; with the

exception of the FSMO roles, all DCs are peers.

Thanks.

 

Everything appears to be working correctly except I did get an NTDS

Replication error Event 2088 when I rebooted the primary server with the

Master FSMO roles. I thought it might be looking for the old NIC.

Nope. But you could run a dcdiag & netdiag if you wish.
