I need to upgrade and replace an existing MS Server 2003 box with a new MS Server 2008 R2. It is the only server for the forest. It is obviously the PDC and holds all the roles (FSMO, DNS, DHCP, Print, App Server, File Server). I need
to replace the 2003 machine, transfer all the roles and assign the same IP and hostname to the new server as was on the old. It is a requirement for some custom software and it cannot use the DNS name. It has to map to IP of the server according
to the vendor. I have successfully replaced 2003 machines with 2008 in the past but have never had the requirement to keep the same hostname. I have searched the forum and found similar questions but not specific to this scenario. Ideas or
how to's on the best way to do this are much appreciated.
