Fair enough, we ended up finding there domain providers control panel and adding a hostname there. Worked out well, next thing is the Standard SSL cert. The wizard certainly doesn't give an option for NO domain name. Possibly IIS will give an option for creating an IP only certificate but thats beyond me. Thanks for the advice.

it's hard to have a certificate match with a static IP address. I mean you don't *have* to, but for $8.99/year, isn't it worth it? Plus with the built in dynamic IP address handling, you can drop the static IP and save some money!

That's easy then, just run through the Internet Address Management wizard, and choose to buy one, our software will set up the rest.

You just point the internet domain name at the static IP addrss. sounds like what you did was correct.

There's a lot of emphasis with SBS2008 and having an Internet domain name. We did a migration where the customer had a static IP but no DNS address pointing at it whatsoever. We ended up having to accept the remote.theirdomainname.ie which was obviously incorrect.

What's the situation when you don't have a DNS name and just a static IP?

Are you behind a proxy? it's probably best to take this offline. Send me an email using the email tab at the top of this page. Ultimately this sort of issue should go to GoDaddy's support, but I'm interested now.

Sean,
were would I be able to check for the errors from the Dynamic DNS client.

I am investigating some communications from my new sbs 2k8 box that are destined for port 53. happen every 10 mins. to the opendns serves that i have set as dns forwarders.

In response to the deleted comment. For all to see, yes, if you use one of hte partners listed, you do not require a static WAN IP address, and you can just continue to use your dynamic IP.

Save some money eh!?

2009-07-15T17:25:45.689-07:00

If you're already hosted with GoDaddy, just skip their web-interface and type in your username and password for GoDaddy

we only touch the A, MX, SRV, TXT records for the domain, we won't touch any WWW or @ records for the domain.

Try it, it'll work great. Trust me. ;o)

2009-07-15T12:45:04.854-07:00

Does my Domain have to be hosted by one of the supported providers? I have a domain registered with GoDaddy, but the site is hosted elsewhere and I get a message that the site can't be transferred when trying to connect to the provider's site. Upon entering the domain information (domain, username, password)SBS2008 cannot connect to GoDaddy.

2009-06-23T10:28:09.970-07:00

Hi Rich,

You can do it either. The wizard will let the domain provider know that you want to transfer it. Or you can transfer it before hand. Which ever is most convenient for you.

If you don't transfer before hand, you may see some benign errors from the Dynamic DNS client as it attemps to configure your domain name every 10 minutes, and until it's transfered, clearly that won't work.

Cheers.

2009-06-02T11:39:55.612-07:00

Sean,

This is really cool!! One question. Can a domain be transferred to one of the supported providers during the wizard setup or should the domain be transferred before the SBS install?

Thank you.
