Hi There!
We are planning a migration for a server which is running SBS 2003 (Non = Service Packed Non R2) to a 2003 R2 Fully Patched Environment
We are relunctant to patch the old server as its pretty unstable and we = are worried the entire thing is going to fall over, though if its required = to complete then we will take the plunge and do it.=20
I am wondering if there are any step by step guides for doing this = migration to new hardware around that we can use to do this migration.=20
The last attempts we have tried didn't work well, the first when we tried = to join the new server to the old domain, which went ok, but when we tried = to install Exchange on the new server it threw up installation errors we were unable to = resolve (and unfortunately the engineer in question didn't take note of = the error message).
We then tried to use an interim server, however we were unable to join the = new server to the interim server domain due to unresolvable DNS type = errors.=20
I suspect we are not executing one or more steps correctly, but to me it = seemed information on these exact types of migrations were relatively thin = on the ground.=20
Any information would be much appreciated. --____JVODRLRJPTLRGJNYQUON____ Content-Type: multipart/related; boundary="____OLUAPOKFLIQWXGRSNSNL____"

Well, its not free, but the widely accepted standard for migrating to = new hardware is found at sbsmigration.com It involves the use of an intermediate server, which allows you to have = the new final target server have the same name and preserve the domain
Now granted with lots of research and time, you can go out and find all = this yourself...but Jeff has done a great job of bring all this togehter = and adding some tools to automate some of the required AD cleanup, etc.
worth the money in the amount of time you will save on the migration.=20

[Quoted Text] > Thanks for the information. I have had a look at this site, > but I can't really figure out what this kit actually is.
The kit is a information and a set of scripts that make certain tasks a LOT easier. I was able to migrate an SBS 2003 Prem server to a new server in what appeared to be several minutes to the users, it took me about 4 hours not including the restore/copy of user data, but I had done the restore of profiles from a backup tape so I did the production restore on the night shift and the users were (night shift) back online in 5 minutes once I swapped servers (then I restored the backups over top their day-old data).
I think that the hardest part was manually recreating the printers using the scripted information - and the only hard part was making the IP again :)
