Comment on How To: Change a Domain Controller IP address: Multi-DCs by Kim

Kim — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 21:34:18 +0000

Hi Robert,

This article is great. I moved multiple 2003, and 2008 servers to newly remodeled building. I was told to give up existing IP addresses. I didn’t have enough time to build a new site, so I have to re-use the old DC. I will be configuring new servers next month.

Thanks!

ke:
You only ever want to have a single “Default Gateway” on your server (unless you’re modifying metrics properly). Routing tables are “per host” not “per NIC”, so 2 NICs with the same speed (1gbps, for example) will have the same metric of 10 on Win2k3+. 2 default gateways with the same metric results in unpredictable routing.

So, yes, you could use this method to add a new IP to a new NIC, but I’d warn against filling in the “Default Gateway” field, unless you’ve manually set the metric value for *EVERY* NIC on the host, so that the routing tables (viewable via “netstat -ar” in cmd.exe) look reasonable.

Sorry for asking, but did you ever finish the pm-utils config? I’m asking since I didn’t see an update.

I do, but the post was written for Ubuntu 8, and 10+ don’t support laptop-mode any more. I am working on a draft for pm-utils config I should finish in the next week.

Do you still have those configuration files available? The links seem to be broken.

Thanks.

Comment on Windows 2008 Server Core ESX Guest Virtual Hardware Upgrade – BSOD on boot by Robert

Thanks Wilbert. It would have been a lot simpler if I had even thought “the disk might be read-only after the remount, too…” initially. But, we learn as we try new things, right?

Nice one! Solved my problem during the VMware HW upgrade to version 7.

Another quick option to check if the disk is read-only:

1) Diskpart
2) List disk
3) Select disk x
4) atributes disk

Thanks!
