You should be OK with the apps you have listed. Be sure to update the DNS and WINS servers. Since these apps are generally configured useing the name of the server not the IP, it will fall to the DNS to resolve the new IP address. Be careful of Backup Exec you may have to reenter the password under services should they stop working.

Good Luck

If your exchange server is running smtp for internet email and the ip addresss is nat translated at your firewall be sure to make the change in your firewall tables to reflect your new IP address.
