Hi All

Will changing SQL Server IP address affecting/break anything in sql server? Thank you in advance.

Possibly not, depending on your environment.

The critical thing is that all connection strings and references to the server must use it's NetBIOS name or DNS name. If you don't know what you're using, it's probably NetBIOS and thus you're probably ok :)

Also, if you change the IP address, any open connections to the server will break. So be sure you do this at a pre-determined downtime :)
