AD Upgrade WIndows 2003 R2 to Windows 2012 R2


hi,

we planning have our ad upgraded 2003 r2 2012 r2. have empty root domain , resource domain (child). plan follows:

upgrade root domain first

introduce 2012 r2 member server in root domain , once dns information updated promote domain controller , move roles 2012 r2 dc. wish to reuse ip address of existing 2003 r2 dc, hope there not problem changing ip address on new 2012 r2 dc , thereby running ipconfic /registerdns ? (are there implications changing ip address on new dc match old dc ip, once dc demoted ?)

upgrade child domain

we plan introduce windows 2012 r2 member servers , promote domain controller , move fsmo roles accordingly. domain has external trusts, how can taken care? , ensure no impact on trust relationship?. here again, reusing ip address (due various reasons) of existing 2003 r2 dcs once server demoted, issues?

we thinking of placing single dcs in sites close 900 employees, best practice , how can requests forwarded identified site in case of dc failure?

many thanks!
