We have Exchange 2007 and our ISP changed our IP address so I need to change our mail server to reflect this. Please could someone point me in the right direction? Many thanks

You need to update the following: 1. Update your external DNS records to use the new IP. Log into your external DNS providers site if you don't know you can go to whois http://www.networksolutions.com/whois/index.jsp enter your domain name. You should see similar Domain servers in listed order: Manage DNS A.NS.MTGSY.COM SCRANTON.NS.MTGSY.COM DNS4.MTGSY.COM 213.133.201.68 DNS2.NAME-S.NET You need to log into the DNS portals. Once logged in find every entry where you see the old IP and replace it with the new IP 2. Go to your firewall and update the NAT for your email services where you see the old external IP mapping to the internal IP of your exchange and replace it with the new external IP.

Please could someone point me in the right direction? Many thanks Is your server using a publically accessible IP address or is it using a NATed address? If you're using NAT then you need to change the IP address assigned to your firewall/router. Then you need to change the IP address in your external DNS for the "A" record that your "MX" record uses. --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP

Thank you for the response. We have three domains: doddslimited.co.uk, doddssolar.co.uk and the original doddsroofing.co.uk, I had account login details for the first two so I was able to log into the control panel and change the mail IP address to the new one. The original doddsroofing.co.uk returned the following Registrar: Sitewizard Limited [Tag = ANET] URL: http://www.sitewizard.co.uk. Relevant dates: Registered on: 14-Sep-1999 Expiry date: 14-Sep-2013 Last updated: 14-Nov-2011 Registration status: Registered until expiry date. Name servers: ns1.hostingwizard.co.uk 79.170.40.2 ns2.hostingwizard.co.uk 79.170.43.3 but I have no details for logging into the sitewizard account. Sorry to sound stupid but I have just recently becomed involved in this and I am not to familiar with Exchange. J R Ezard

If you don't know the account/password you'll have to convince them of your identity before they'll change the password. Their contact information is at the bottom of the site's URL (above). --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP --- Rich Matheisen MCSE+I, Exchange MVP
