Our SBS 2003 had its puplic IP address change. Some of our
employees connect with the SBS connection manager. I can not see
anywhere on the client how to change the Properties putting in the
new IP. It just wants to connect to the old IP. I even downloaded
the package and installed it again from the new IP.

Also, when connecting to https:\\new ip\remote the clients see that
there is a problem with their certficate (because of the ip in the
cert no longer matches.) How do I update a new cert on the server?

Thanks...

Your remote employees should be using an A record, such as
mail.mydomain.com, and not an IP address - that way you don't have to
notify anyone when you get a new public IP. And your SSL cert should
be set up using mail.mydomain.com as well. I suggest you have
whomever hosts your public DNS set up such an A record for you (or
do it yourself on their servers) and rerun the CEICW to set up the
SSL cert. You can also rerun the CEICW just to change the SSL cert to
your new
IP, but I wouldn't bother - fix this once so you have an easy to
remember name.

Your existing remote clients will need to modify their settings. I
don't use the VPN wizard stuff, so I don't know what they've got
(I'd personally have them use Remote Web Workplace instead of VPN,
and if they did need VPN I'd walk them through setting up a
connection manually). Try posting in
microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs for more help. In fact, that's
the best group for all your SBS questions - SBS does many things its
own way.

Thanks for the info. Yes, I realized the benifits of an A record
last night and set one up. If I cruise through the CEICW wizzard are
all my previous settings remembered?

Yes - you don't change anything you don't need to change (you get the option
to ignore existing settings, etc)

I just replace the IP with the
new domain name when I get to the appropriate spot and a new cert is
created when completed?

Yep - change 123.123.123.123 to blah.mydomain.com.

Yes, I do use the RWW but I can't get through that wizzard to create
a new package. Apparently there is a know problem where the wizzard
hangs at the end. I upgraded to the SBS SP1, and the first step of
that is to install WinServer 2003 SP1. Some of the posts I've seen
have seen said to uninstall the Win2003 SP1 to solve the problem of
the hanging wizzard. But they don't say if the SP1 is no longer
needed after the complete SBS SP1 installation is complete.

You should try posting in m.p.windows.server.sbs, really.

And, will uninstalling Win2003 SP1 require a reboot?

Oh, don't do that.

I only have a
handful of clients and it might be easier to just set up the VPN
instead. I'll look over in the SBS section for some of these answers.

Yep. I personally don't see much need for VPN....RWW so that they can do
remote desktop to a TS or WinXP box is a lot easier to manage.

Thanks...
