Moving domain controller to new subnet

here in week moving 1 of our domain controllers 1 physical building building 45 minutes away.  new building on different subnet , want server renamed because name of physical location used in server name.  server running few roles:

1) active directory domain services

2) dhcp server

3) dns server

4) file services

my question have guide or follow on exact steps take migrate server?  plan turn off dhcp , dns server roles, reboot, change server name , shutdown server.  take server new location , turn on.  going go active directory services , create new subnet , new site in there , turn on roles. 

hello,

do not use gui way renaming, normal computers, there more trouble.

for ad sites , services:

- create new site , add new subnet

- change ip settings on machine new subnet and shutdown server

- start on new location , assure connection , replication working support tools
