note to self... never ever ever again move NT4 domain controllers to anotehr site and change their IP addresses
Why bother with static mappings no bloody need, just drop the database if changing the ip and reboot all servers/workstations on network and let it rediscover dynamically

Then redo the partner mappings and all done

Wins is a pain in the arse but its piss easy to do
