RE: Migrate or not??



Hello Stokes,

Thank you for posting to the SBS Newsgroup.

I understand that you are going to migrate your server to SBS 2K3 server
using the Swingit method. If I have misunderstood your concern, please let
me know.

Actually, Swing Migration is not the Microsoft recommended method, and we
use the ADMT tool and Exchange Migration Wizard for migration.

Active Directory Migration Tool (ADMT) is used to simplify the process of
moving users, groups, and computers from one Active Directory? directory
service domain to another, or of migrating from Windows 2000 Server domains
to Active Directory domains.

Exchange Migration Wizard simplifies the process of moving mailboxes from
one Exchange server to another when the mailboxes are not in the same
domain.

For the detailed information about Migrating from Small Business Server
2000 or Windows 2000 Server to Windows Small Business Server 2003, please

for your additional information: Upgrading to Windows Small Business Server
2003

If you insist on using the swing migration wizard, you can contact Jeff for
support (http://www.sbsmigration.com).

I am appreciated your time and understanding! If you need any assistance on
the SBS 2K3 server, please feel free to let me know. I am glad to be of
assistance!

Best regards,

Brandy Nee
