Is it a big deal if the passwords get reset? If so grab a copy of exmerge,
export the users to PSTs, recreate them manually on the new system, and
import the PSTs. Use the http://yourserver/connectcomputer wizard to join
the 4 PCs to the domain.
If you can't lose the passwords, you can use ADMT. You need to make sure
that the target is in native mode, and add anonymous logon and everyone to
the pre-windows 2000 compatibile access group on the new server. Then you
can runas admt in the context of a user in the source domain on the target
and things will work.

I have inherited a client who currently has a Windows 2000 Domain
controller
with Exchange 2000 installed on it. This is a very small network with 4
main
users. The mailboxes are quite large. We have purchased a new SBS 2003
machine with Exchange 2003 on it. I want to migrate to the new machine,
but
every site seems to give a different answer. Some say I can't do it.
Some
suggest the Swing method ( I do have another SBS 2003 server I can use).
The
more I read, the more confused I become. I've set up several "new"
exchange
servers, but never had to migrate old data. All that really needs to be
preserved is the users email, contacts and calendar. The methods which
might
apply are: 1. Swing method (dont' think it works on domain controller
though) 2. EXMERGE.exe (need more details...don't think it works on
exchange 2k)
I can either use the same name or use a different name on the new server,
but would like a concrete method before digging into it. The work is for
a
law firm and while the server can be down for a few hours if necessary, I
have to be assured that the data will be preserved. Any suggestions?
