If I was migrating a 10 user box, I'd do a fresh install and exmerge the
mailboxes.

As I've come to understand through my readings, when migrating from SBS
2000 to SBS 03, the 03 server must have a DIFFERENT domain name (i.e.:
sbs2000.local on old Server and sbs2003.local on new.)

Two questions I have in regards to this.

1) Am I correct in this assumption?

2) Can I change the domain name after the migration ?
2a) How do I change it?

Also - would it be just as easy for me to just Recreate all the users
(there are only 10) and then bring over the Exchange mail boxes from
exchange 2000 to Exchange 2003?
