Now my Network Card sometimes stop working abruptly and my all clients and workstations suffer alot because there stops communication with the server because of failure of LAN Card, Now I want to change my network card and I boght Intel's Network Card. As you know that it is a server and domain controller so replacing the network card is quite difficult because DNS, Active Directory all depends on it. Please guide me what procedure should I follow to replace my Network Card in my machine? Your help will be highly appreciated and please I need help ASAP as my clients are suffering. Thanks

Changing a network card on a DC is pretty straightforward though you may want to do it outside of work hours.

1. Shut server down.
2. Plug in new NIC
3. Power server back up
4. Install any drivers it may need.
5. Set the static IP address on the new NIC

Personally I would recommend you unplug and disable the old one at this point.
