I've not attempted your scenario but would _expect_ it to be fairly
painless.

A cautious man could contact Jeff at www.sbsmigration.com and perform a
Swing It style migration. This would involve 'holding' the AD on a temporary
box and doing a clean install of SBS to your existing hardware. The kit
includes information about maintaining your existing Exchange store but I
don't think Jeff has put much into SQL (which shouldn't be too complex).
