There is no longer a wizard for changing the IP address in SBS 2008, but the process is still very simple.

   1. Start > ncpa.cpl
   2. Right click on the server NIC and select Properties
   3. Double click on Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)
   4. Configure the new IP address and click OK, OK, etc.
   5. Open the SBS Console
   6. Go to the Network tab, and then the Connectivity tab
   7. Click the Fix My Network link
   8. Run through the wizard and click Finish when complete
   9. Confirm there are no unexpected errors

That should be it, but read on...

Check DNS and DHCP

There may be a root DNS A record pointing to the old server IP in the SBSDomain Forward Lookup Zone - delete it.

Also double check that the DHCP scope options are set correctly.

SBS 2008 takes a long time to shut down. The reason is that Active Directory (AD) shuts down before Exchange, which relies on AD... It waits a long time and finally times out, allowing the shutdown process to continue. (extremely simplified - see Wayne Small's blog for a more complete explanation)

To fix it, we run a script that shuts down Exchange at the start of the shutdown process.

Enter the following lines into a script, and save it as (eg.) C:\Scripts\fast-shutdown.cmd

net stop msexchangeadtopology /y
net stop msftesql-exchange /y
net stop msexchangeis /y
net stop msexchangesa /y
net stop iisadmin /y

Now use Group Policy to run the script automatically:

1. Open the Group Policy Management Console
2. Create a new Group Policy called Faster SBS Shutdown
3. Link the policy object to the Domain Controllers OU
4. Call C:\Scripts\fast-shutdown.cmd using the following policy setting: Computer Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Scripts\Shutdown

When I decided to change the domain for my Joomla website mundy.net.au to blog.mundy.co, I needed a way to ensure that all traffic from my old URL was not lost - I get quite a few hits from Google. 

I used the following .htaccess file to redirect mundy.net.au to blog.mundy.co. If both olddomain and newdomain point to the same server filespace, then you will need to tell this rewrite rule not to redirect newdomain to itself, which it will do unless told otherwise.The added RewriteCond prevent the rule from being applied unless the requested domain is NOT "www.newdomain.com"

Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine on

#

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^blog\.mundy\.com

RewriteRule (.*) http://blog.mundy.co/$1 [R=301,L]

1. Start up the Exchange 2007 management console
2. Click on Recipient Configuration > Mailbox

5. Click on the green plus (+) tab and enter the additional email address.

The following steps outline how to install a third party SSL certificate on your SBS 2003 server. First, you'll need to generate a Certificate Signing Request, or CER. You'll use this to sign up for an SSL certificate and then install the certificate in your server using the IIS Admin console.
