your question would be better asked in the SBS2003 group.

SBS public Newsgroups:

SBS 4.x: microsoft.public.backoffice.smallbiz
SBS 2000: microsoft.public.backoffice.smallbiz2000
SBS 2003: microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs

if your current news server does not carry the mentioned groups you should
be able to connect directly to news.microsoft.com

However, yes, expect the True Image process to work. Couple of people have
experimented with it.

We are looking at getting a new server to upgrade/replace our existing SBS
2003 server. We would like to keep all SBS components intact.

It seems the consensus is to perform a swing migration. One product that
intrigues me from a disaster recovery perspective is Acronis True Image
Server for Windows. I allows for a bare metal restore solution.

If we did a bare metal restore of an image of our current SBS 2003 server
to
the new server, can anyone see any issues we might encounter. True Image
prompts you for driver installs during the restore if it doesn't have them
already.

Anyone have experience with performing a True Image restore on any SBS
servers...even if not in the scenario I've described above?
