My company does not use DHCP - all IPs are hardcoded (a problem i have no authority to solve). We have 300 users moving from one location to another, and their IP addresses will need to be changed to one in a different subnet.
I will have a one-to-one mapping of IP addresses (old-->new).
My thought was to write a script that will add the new IP Address to their NIC before-hand, giving them 2 IPs at once. The script works with no problem, yet if I put the "new" IP first in the list, I get no connectivity to anything outside our building. If I put their current IP first, everything works, but that tells me they won't have connectivity when they move without making the new one first (and removing the old one).
Any thoughts/ideas? Thanks.
Thanks,
Andrew
