We installed Windows Small Business Server STD 2008 x64-bit with the domain name xxxxx.local and are configuring Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 with BlackBerry Enterprise Server and realized that we need the domain name to be xxxxx.com not xxxxx.local. We already have over 100 hours into the migration from the old server and have the workstations all setup on the domain so starting from scratch is NOT AN OPTION! How do we change the domain name to xxxxx.com and will it affect the workstations? is there a workaround? will the workaround affect the Blackberry Enterprise Server? Thanks In Advance.

You cannot change the server name after the installation finishes.You cannot change the internal NetBIOS domain name after the installation finishes.You cannot change the full internal DNS name after the installation finishes.

I believed it still was a no-go. See for instanceMonday, May 25, 2009, BES 5.0 and SBS 2008 – No Go For Nowhttp://blog.mpecsinc.ca/2009/05/bes-50-and-sbs-2008-no-go-for-now.html According to the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server for Microsoft® Exchange Compatibility Matrix, January 19, 2010:http://na.blackberry.com/eng/support/software/server_exchange_ver_january_19_2010.pdf Small Business Server 2008: NOT RECOMMENDED Compability issues exist and RIM does not recommend installation; unsupported configuration Anyhow, this is a lot more related to SBS 2008 than to Exchange.
