Hi,
 
I have an specific requirement to have the sbs sharepoint to be available publicically via https://FQDN, in the same way as the following:
 
 
https://FQDN/remote = Remote Web Access
 
I need sharepoint to be available at:
 
https://FQDN = Sharepoint
 
Can this be achieved by repointing the home directory of "Default Web Site"
 
FROM:
c:\inetpub\wwwroot
TO:
c:\inetpub\companyweb
 
and replicating all other setting under that properties page ?
 
Can I also drag the following into the "Default Web Site" from "Companyweb"
 
_layouts
_vti_bin
_wpresources
_aspnet_clients (allready exists in "Default Web Site"
_vti_pvt
 
Hope this makes sense.

Sab,

It is possible, but I would do it by creating a new sharepoint site and then importing the other items into it.  One thing I feel pretty confident of is that almost no-one wants to do this.  You can not simply rename an existing site as SharePoint is mainly stored in a database and you will upset it's view of the world.

I'm afraid your going to be on your own.
