Can I change IP address on 5.5 server w/out problems?

[Alan]

Hello,

We have an Ex5.5 organisation consisting of only one server. I need to
change the IP address of the server and move it to another subnet.

Will this have any negative affect on Exchange itself or the user profiles
on the client PCs? I'm not planning on changing the computer or DNS names.

I think it won't make any difference but just wanted to double-check first.

Thanks,

- Alan.

Hello Alan:

Just a few things off the top of my head that I would check:

1) Make sure the WINS entry gets updated.
2) Make sure the DNS entry gets updated.
3) Make sure that any applications using the IP address to send SMTP mail
changes it to the new one.
4) Not sure how you have your inbound Internet e-mail configured, but if you
have some kind of SMTP appliance or firewall on the edge, make sure that you
change it to forward mail to the new IP address.
5) Any clients who would have problems probably just need a reboot to clear
out their name resolution caches.

Regards,
Martin
