Changing the static IP address on SBS 2003 server
Years ago we set up SBS 2003 for our small office, and we've used it as a filesharing server and for Exchange. When we set it up, we were advised to get a static IP, so we did.
Now we are moving to a different city, so we will lose our static IPs. We will now be using it only for Exchange, and to connect to the server via gotomypc to do some file maintenance.
Questions:
--Is it still important to have a static IP?
--If so, I know where to go in the TCP/IP setup for the NIC to change the settings for the static IP, but are there other places we'll need to go in SBS to tell it we have a new static IP? If so, where exactly would we go and what would we need to do? TIA

First of all, when you say: "DNS .... Host and PTR if you have any and if its pointing External MX and SVR that too have to be updated."
Are these issues I would discuss with my backup email provider...or what exactly ARE these about? Or, are they things I need to change in SBS, and if so, exactly where would I go in SBS and what would I do?
I need any details you can supply, and/or pointing me to a clear article...thanks
