samba - Nov 2023 - Moving a AD DC from one network to another

I have 2 AD DCs at an office location (A) with 1 of them as FSMO.

I now have a second office location (B) and are experiencing issues with Windows
client logons at (B) because both DCs are in location (A) - coming through the
IPSec site-to-site VPN.

Is it possible to move one AD DC from one network to another?

130.130.0.218/16  -->  172.16.1.218/16

... or, is it better to set up a fresh AD DC at location (B) ?

Are there any issues with both of them talking to each other and which should I
set for the FSMO role?

Thank you, as always.

:-)

I?d add a new DC in B, use "AD site and services" and assign the new
DC to the new site, new network. Any DC can own the FSMO roles, I would have it
in the busiest site.

Once you are happy with the result you can if you want remove a DC from A if
desired, I would not do it.

By the way is 130.130.x.x RFC 1918 ? I think not.
