Is there a recommended procedure for installing / setting up Server with regards to the host name configuration? I've been doing it like this:
1. Install Lion.
2. Set the server name in the "Sharing" panel of System Preferences.
3. Install Server.app
4. Use Change Host name wizard to change it to the fully qualified host name, such as "server1.mydomain.com."
5. Configure all my services.
Is this the proper way to do this? I'm finding annoying side effects, like iChat only accepting logins when the user name is "user1@server1.mydomain.com" instead of "user1@mydomain.com" which is what I expect.
Any input or suggestions would be most helpful!
