As far as I'm aware, It should be safe just to change the IP address. I have my on DC setup at home and everytime I've set a new address, (once or twice) I've never had any problems with logins or services.

There can be some issues with just manually changing the IP Address. The safe way is to go into Server Management; Internet and Email; Change Server IP Address.

If the "Server Management" Link is not in your start menu, go to :

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Windows Small Business Server\Administration\LaunchConsole.exe"

On the left navigation bar, choose "Internet and Email", then in the right pane click the link for "Change Server IP address".

I can't get any more detailed without changing the email address of my server.
