I worked with Sharepoint a bit on the past, best thing you can do is have a QA box (ms virtual server worked well on my laptop x32bit ) especially for changes like this. &nbsp;Remember that SSL doesn't use / work with host headers. <br />
<br />
What I did for moss on windows 2003 was let sharepoint create the sites as SSL - setup just a default Alternate Access Mapping, then use IIS to redirect port 80 to the sharepoint 443. <br />

The site was running under SSL in IIS, so the Host Header could not be updated.<br />
<br />
The real problem was that I didnt setup the Alternate Access Mapping correctly. &nbsp;Thanks Poolio. &nbsp;You saved my rear end big time!

I'm running a SharePoint 2007 site on WinServer 2008 under SSL. &nbsp;I didn't set the host header when I created the site. &nbsp;Now I have to set the host headers for the site.<br />
<br />
How do I do this in SharePoint and then how do I do this in IIS 7.0?<br />
<br />
Thanks!

Change Host Headers for SharePoint Site

IIS is Internet Information Services, the web server included with Windows Server operating systems. All current versions are built on a modular architecture; modules can be added or removed individually so that those required for specific functionality are installed. The full installation of IIS includes HTTP, security, content, compression, caching, logging and diagnostics.
