Today I worked on my first ever network deployement/upgrade. All the networking gear was setup and tested in our office before deployment, so once we got there, we decided to keep their old and only production server (physical server, contained Divalto, Active Directory and DNS) and just throw it immediately in our new network design by simply changing its IP address, and it worked just fine.
However, when the sysadmin came, he chewed us out for it saying stuff like "you never do that on a server especially not the AD, you don't just change its IP address"...my question is, how true is that statement? can changing a server's ip address really damage the network? or is the sysadmin just lazy and doesn't want to do any extra work?
