I just got a request form my colleque from our intinational branch to change the ip scheme on the server. My domain controller host one of the DHCP server and i was wandering how to go about changing the scope to what is bent provided to me from UK. my adderss is ex: 10.80.4.4 which i'm running on dc1. The new adderss that is provided to us is as followed 10.261.12.4 the scheme has to be implimented for rest of the clients to obtain ip address of same scheme. Will this affect active directory and how is the best possible way to carry out this task. All suggestion are welcome. Thanks IN ADVANCE ALL

I'm not sure I totally understand what you are being asked to do:
When you say change the IP scheme of the server are you talking about only changing the IP address of the server or changing the entire IP address range this server uses to distribute IP addresses thru DHCP?
Do you also host DNS locally or is it being hosted elsewhere?
Do you know why you are being asked to change the IP "scheme"?
Does the DHCP address scope consist of public or private IP addresses (i.e. are you using NAT)?
There are too many variables her to give you a simple answer. The answer could be as simple as just changing the IP address of your server, or it could be as complicated as creating new DNS zones in DNS and creating new DHCP scopes with new scopeoptions.

If you can give us some more information as to your current network setup, we can give you a more detailed answer.
