Descrição
What will happen if the IP address of a host with Active Roles or the Synchronization Service installed is changed? Would it cause any problems?

Resolução
As long as the FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) of the host remains the same, there should not be any impact directly - however there are considerations to be taken into account if the servers IP address was used instead of the FQDN in certain configurations.
Examples:
- Sync Service connections to an Active Roles host
- Active Roles Console connections to an Active Roles host
- Active Roles Collector and Report pack connections to an Active Roles host
- Active Roles Web Interfaces installed on standalone hosts
Thorough testing is advised as a precaution to detect and update any potential scenarios where an IP Address was used in configurations, prior to production implementation.
