Re: SBS 2000 to Windows 2003

If you are planning to keep your SBS domain then this will not work. You will need to look at www.sbsmigration.com for a proven process to move your SBS to new hardware. You might also consider imaging software for this scenario.

I have read some posts sorta pertaining to this but is still unclear.

I have 2 servers. 1 SBS 2000 and 1 win2k3 standard
The 2k3 box is joined to the 2000 domain and is acting as a secondary domain
controller.

1) The goal would be to install Exchange 2003 on the 2k3 box and migrate all
users mailboxes to the new server.
2) Follow the KB to remove the first Exchange server from the domain
3) Move the FSMO roles to the new server
4) Decommission 1st server

Is there any reason that this would not work if the only thing to save is
the Exchange and AD Accounts.

The ultimate goal would be to add another new server as second domain
controller acting as file and print.

Thanks in advance!
