MS have written a KB article on how to do it. Q239747 How to Change the IFS Drive M to Another Drive Letter, shows how to do it.
Basically look in the registry for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\EXIFS\Parameters Look for a value called DriveLetter. If it’s not there then add it as a REG_SZ data type. The value is the actual drive letter you want the Exchange data to appear on.

Proxy Server does not support reverse hosting of socket level applications and therefore can not provide this functionality by default. A product that can provide this is Surrogate Sockets. http://www.edu-tec.com/surrogatesocket/

You may for integration reasons desire to change the default IP address from it’s Microsoft set standard of 10.0.0.2 to some other address range. Microsoft have given a detailed step-by-step how to do this in a knowledge base article “Change the Default IP Address in Small Business Server [Q194562]”
Essentially the key steps are as follows.
1. Change the IP address in the TCP/IP properties, change also the WINS server IP to point to the new IP.
2. Change the DHCP scope accordingly and create a new scope with the correct options and settings
3. Change the LMHOSTS file as it contains an IP address which points to 10.0.0.2
4. Change the LAT for MS Proxy, and other various proxy config files as detailed in the KB article (although I have only seen server names here and not IP addresses)
Thant should be it!

By default the SBS 2000 installs the fax service starting as a LocalSystem account. LocalSystem accounts do not have access to network resources and therefore can not print to network printers even though the printer is installed on the local machine. You need to change the Fax Service to utilise an account other than the LocalSystem account. You can do this via Services located under the Administrative Tools program group.
Select the Fax Service, go to properties, and specify another account such as Administrator and enter the password. Restart the Fax Service once complete and you should then be able to have incoming faxes print directly to the network printer.

I just messed up the manage console in SBS2k, how do I fix it?
The MMC snapin bits for the SBS Consoles are on cd3:\BKOFFICE\I386\Admin\Consoles\USA
Copy these in c:\docs and settings\All Users\Applicatioin Data\Microsoft\Back Office\Management\ directory.
Opening the snapin in a new window opens a new instance of the MMC with the same name as the host mmc. Since you were in author mode and saved settings, the original console snapin was overwritten.
And when you copy the file from the cd you need to uncheck read only attribute.
