Is the new server a Member server or DC\GC ?<br />
Ideally you can change the IP but it isnt recommended to change the Name as it can break the application and thats never Good.<br />

That is what I thought. I have done a swing migration before and that may be how I proceed. I don't know how many instances of the server name are used within the network and it would be nightmare trying to discover every instance where it is used. Thank you.

I have read the excellent migration how-to by demazter at <a href="https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/25005312/Need-to-migrate-from-SBS-2008-to-Windows-2008-and-Exchange-2010.html" rel="ugc">ExpertsExchangeLink</a> and we are faced with a similar migration. However, I had a question. After the migration, will I be able to keep the old SBS 2008 server name and IP address on the new system? Thank you.

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).

Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2, based on the Microsoft Vista codebase, is the last 32-bit server operating system released by Microsoft. It has a number of versions, including including Foundation, Standard, Enterprise, Datacenter, Web, HPC Server, Itanium and Storage; new features included server core installation and Hyper-V.
