Mark, Thanks for your input. I disabled the Exchange services and all kinds of errors came up in the Server Status report. I guess I better leave Exchange alone - it's too integrated in SBS03. I realize I'm wasting a big portion of SBS by not using Exchange, but switching to a 3rd party...

I've recently switched to a 3rd party Exchange service provider. Can I, or would it be wise, to remove or disable the Exchange service on my SBS 2003 server? I would like to remove it to free up disk space.

Mark - you are right about changing the IP address on a SBS2003 machine - it caused all kinds of problems. Since I have not load anything on the new server, I decided to start from scratch and reload the operating system. If I'm understanding everything right - when the SBS03 server comes to...
