moving OS X server to new IP address

[nbirnbaum]

Hey all,

One of my clients is moving offices this weekend and I’ll need to set up their server on the new IP. They’re currently running internal DNS, POP & IMAP mail, file services, and WebDAV for iCal.

The consultant who set up the box is telling me that config files and user settings need to be changed–and “in the right order.” This is news to me, as I figured I could just reconfigure DNS, and change the hostnames in the Server Settings app. Am I missing something major here?

Thanks again,
Noam

Haven’t tried myself but have heard it can be a real pain.

Apple has a script out there to help things move along…

Hope that helps.

Wish I had that a few weeks ago. It went pretty well but Password Server wouldn’t switch over to the new IP so I locked myself out.
