Changing domain DNS to Active Directory (AD) IP can be a technical decision based on specific network configuration or system management needs. Generally, there is no problem in making this change, as long as it is done carefully and the necessary checks are conducted to ensure that everything continues to work as expected.

Step by Step for Changing DNS to IP:

  1. Change Device Registration:

    • Access the device registration in the system.

    • Change the DNS configuration to the desired Active Directory IP.

    • Immediately check connectivity to ensure that the device is still communicating correctly with the network and AD.

  2. Update Authentication Settings:

    • Go to the ‘Settings’ panel and select ‘Authentication’.

    • Within ‘Servers’, update the information to reflect the change to the IP.

    • It is crucial to ensure that all references to the old DNS are updated to the new IP.

  3. Synchronization Test:

    • After making the changes, conduct a synchronization test.

    • This test will help confirm that the system and AD continue to synchronize correctly after changing the DNS to IP.
