Moving from SBS 2000 to Server/Exchange 2003 |

Moving from SBS 2000 to Server/Exchange 2003. (On new Hardware)
I am unable to find a Microsoft article on exactly how to do it. Does
anyone know the steps involved? Here is where my research has led me so far:
1. Add the Server 2003 Box to the existing domain and make it a Domain
Controller.
2. Add Exchange Server 2003 to the Current Exchange Organization.
Question for 1 and 2: Do I have to run some prep utility to my current SBS
2000 System before I add the New 2003 server to the domain? I have found
some info referencing that, but I don't know if it is needed.
3. Once the servers are connected, am I to transfer the e-mail boxes from
one server to another? What is the utility called?
4. Transfer FSMO roles - I think I can handle this one.
I'll continue my research, but if anyone can provide any additional
assistance, I'd appreaciate it.

I think what you are probably looking for is what is discussed at my website
at www.SBSmigration.com. You will see the basic steps presented on the
website. I offer a complete project kit to guide you through all of the
migration process, it's called a Swing It!! Kit. If I'm reading your post
correctly, you are not going to end up on SBS, rather standalone product.
The kit documentation applied to that solution as well.
I can clarify questions here or you can contact me directly via the contact
information at the website or at YCST@SBSmigration.com
