Server 2003, IIS6, Rename

Got new hardware, old running Server2003/IIS6 - new hardware running same.
I've set up IIS6 on new machine, published websites, set host file to look at
itself. Everything seems to be fine.

Next step is to take down old server, rename and change ip address on
current server. Anybody know of any gotchas with IIS in renaming server or
changing ip address?

Thanks,
Janet

You can assign multiple IP addressed to the Network Adapter. You could take
the old one offline, add the IP address used by the old server/website to
the new server and point the website in the new server to the IPAddress.
Apart from this there is nothing else required. If you are on a Remote
connection, remember not to do anything that would cause a duplicate IP on
network or disable the Network, as you might need to have physical access to
the server.
