So, one question at a time.
Best practice would be for all the member servers to be the same "ad"
or
"rid" setting?
Second question. (You mentioned new to old.)
If moving data files *from* old ("ad") member server to new
("rid") member
server with ranges as you suggested would correct my strange ranges?

If you are not likely to get a large amount of extra users, I wouldn't bother changing your setup. If you do change it, then yes, it would 'correct' your ranges ;-) Rowland
