134 Chapter 9 Managing Server Information
The server’s DNS name can only be changed by the administrator of your DNS service.
You should avoid having the server’s DNS name changed, because changing it will
require users of its services to reconfigure their computers:
 Users with Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard will have to use Directory Utility to disconnect
their computers from the server, and then use Directory Utility to connect to the
server again.
 Users who have an earlier Mac OS X version, or who are running Windows, will have
to deal with changes to shared calendar subscriptions, iChat addresses, email
addresses, the server’s website address, group wiki addresses, and the server’s VPN
address.
Changing Your Server’s IP Address
The server’s IP address is one of the network connection settings in the Network pane
of System Preferences. For information about changing Network preferences, open
System Preferences on the server and use the Help menu.
Important: If your DNS service is provided by your ISP or another server on your
network, have your server’s DNS record changed to use the new IP address.
