Question : Changed IP of my Active Directory Integrated DNS server; now logons are slow

Small Business Server 2003. Latest SP
Windows 7 client.

Hello,
I changed the ip address on my SBS Server, which is acting as an Active Directory Integrated DNS Server, from x.x.x.x to y.y.y.y.
On my Windows 7 computer, I changed my Primary DNS to point to the new ip address (y.y.y.y) of the SBS Server.
On the SBS Server DNS, I changed all A-Records etc. to reflect the new ip address of my SBS Server.
On the SBS Server DNS, I cleared the entire cache.

The new ip y.y.y.y  is on a different subnet than x.x.x.x.  In the SBS DNS, I deleted the Reverse Lookup Zone for x.x.x.x

But for some reason, it takes a few minutes for my to logon to my Windows 7 machine with my domain user id and password; like it cannot find the SBS server using DNS (seems like it is finally finding the SBS server via a subnet broadcast).

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thank you.

Hi,

Did you change the IP address from Network Connections or via the SBS wizard?  You should have done the latter.  If you did it manually then you should change it again using the SBS wizard.

If you did this using the SBS wizard and it is not working, you should perform some additional diagnostics on the DC.  'dcdiag' and 'dcdiag /fix' may help.

If you open a 'nslookup' prompt on the client does it resolve addresses quickly?  If you look up 'yourdomain.local' does it return the correct server IP?
