NethServer 7
rc1
Can you change the virtual IP of domain after you created it without uninstalling the Samba AD DC and reinstalling it?
Hi @JeffBales
sorry for the late reply. 
I do not know if it can work.
To check the IP of the virtual machine that manages the domain type:
config GetProp nsdc IpAddress
To change it:
config setprop nsdc IpAddress x.x.x.x
signal-event nethserver-dc-save
(x.x.x.x. = new IP)
I have not tried but virtual PC responds to IP
I ask confirmation @support_team

After the step
“signal-event nethserver-dc-save”,
it took about 10 minutes to complete. It changed the IP address of nsdc container and now I can ping the new address, but made Nethserver come to a crawl.
I can’t reach the Domain account and Users and Groups on the website - it’s only spins. Adding a new Win7 to the domain took about 5 minutes and at the end, it says their problem with the trust and domain.
I guess you can’t. Oh well.
@JeffBales
only other method I know of, not as bad as a r&r.

I followed the steps in the docs.nethserver.org and then my Domain Account says this:
And my Users and Groups is empty:
I uninstalled Samba Active Directory with a multiple errors and install it again with a multiple errors, and the Domain Account and Users and Groups are the same.
Maybe this works only for 7 b2 and not RC1.
It’s not a supported scenario right now.
I think we need a little bit of logic to do it.
It seems MS support it: Change the static IP address of a domain controller: Active Directory | Microsoft Learn
@davidep can we do it? I propose a document manual procedure.
