transition pack alternative

Instead of running the tran pack for SBS2003, is this scenario
possible? Of course, I'd have purchased the tran pack and gotten the
requisite media packs, I just don't want to run on a "transitioned"
server long term.
Assuming the only things I care about are 1) Exchange and 2) AD....
1. Backup AD and the Exchange info stores from the existing SBS server
- then shutdown the server.
2. On a new server, install Server 2003 Standard (name the server the
same as the old SBS server). DC Promo into a new domain controller.
Restart in DS Restore mode, restore AD from the backup.
3. On a second new server, install Server 2003 Standard, Exchange 2003
(Same version/SP as SBS install, same Org and Admin Group names as the
SBS Install). Overwrite the default priv.edb/.stm - pub.edb/stm files
with the backed up versions and mount.
The only thing that would suck is redirecting all the Outlook clients
to the new server name.
it seems like if this doesn't work, all I'd have to do is shut
everything down, fire up the old SBS server and I'd be back at square
one.
any comments?
