Hi,
Thanks for taking time to reply.
Based on my research, if you want to move the Windows Small Business Server
2003 to new hardware, please refer the following steps:
A disaster recovery method
-------------------------------------------
By this method, you need to manually restore Exchange data, SharePoint
Data, contents in Users shared folders. This method can complete rebuild
the same server on new machine.
Disaster Recovery
Backup: If you do not have a good backup of your original server, please
follow the backup steps to backup the server data.
1. Open ''''Exchange System Manager'''', navigate to
''''Servers''''\<Server Name>\''''First Storage Group''''\''''Mailbox
Store''''. Right-click it and choose ''''Properties''''. In the properties
window, click ''''database'''' tab. Write down the path of the database
file and streaming file. Also check the path of the public folder database
files.
2. Open ''''Services'''' console in ''''Administrative Tools''''. Stop
''''Microsoft Exchange Information Store'''' service. If the exchange
database files are stored in the default path (c:\program
files\Exchsrvr\mdbdata\), open Windows Explorer, navigate to the Exchange
database folder, and then save the .edb files and .stm files to a folder on
another disk partition or a shared folder on a internal workstation.
3. Open Windows Explorer. If ''''Users Shared Folders'''' is on C:\ drive,
copy it to another disk partition or a shared folder of on a internal
workstation.
4. If you are using the SBS 2003 built-in SharePoint site (Companyweb), you
may refer to the following KB article to move the database file:
827701 How to perform a disaster recovery operation of SharePoint Services
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=827701
5. Backup other data which you want to restore to the new installation.
Restore:
1. Insert SBS 2003 CD#1 into the CD driver. Boot the machine by using the
CD-Rom. Install SBS 2003 server. (Format original system drive)
2. Create new user accounts (duplicate the original accounts) by using Add
Users Wizard.
3. Open Services Console, stop ''''Microsoft Exchange Information Store''''
service. Open ''''Exchange System Manager'''', navigate to
''''Servers''''\<Server Name>\''''First Storage Group''''. Right-click it
and choose ''''Properties''''. Select the database folder. (The original
database files should be copied to this folder).
4. Open Exchange System Manager. Navigate to ''''Servers''''\<Server
Name>\''''First Storage Group''''\''''Mailbox Store''''. Right-click it and
choose ''''Properteis''''. Click ''''Database'''' tab and check ''''This
database can be overwritten by a restore'''' option. Also check this option
for ''''Public folder store''''.
5. Open Services console, start ''''Microsoft Exchange Information
Store'''' service. In Exchange System Manager console, right-click
''''Mailbox store'''' and choose ''''Mount Store''''. Also mount the public
folder store.
6. In Exchange System Manager console, expand ''''Mailbox Store''''.
Right-click ''''Mailboxes'''' folder and choose ''''Run Cleanup Agent''''.
After doing this, you will see the mailboxes with red crosses in the right
panel. Right-click each mailbox and choose ''''Reconnect''''. Connect the
mailboxes to the current user accounts.
7. Restore the contents in Users shared folders.
8. Follow the KB 827701 to restore the SharePoint site.
The above steps will help you reinstall the SBS 2003 server. To preserve
client user profiles and settings that was on the original domain to the
new SBS 2003 installation, a manual way is documented in the KB article:
314045 HOW TO: Restore a User Profile in Windows 2000
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=314045
Another way is to create a local profile, copy the original domain profile
to the local profile, and then let the "Setup Computer" wizard do the task
"map local profile to new domain profile" for you.
As long as you create your computer accounts using the server manager's "to
do list" you will be prompted to migrate profile information. When you join
the workstations to the domain by using the web site (ie
http://servername/connectcomputer) part of the process of joining the
domain will allow you to migrate user settings. However, to use this
method, you need to make sure that the profile you want to migrate from is
a local user profile (Not a previous domain profile):
1. Before joining the client to SBS 2K3 domain, create a local profile, and
then copy the old domain profile to a local profile.
2. Add the SBS Server into the network
3. Use the Setup Computer Wizard in SBS 2003 to join the (now) XP Pro
machines to the SBS domain: Server Management, Standard Management, Client
Computers, Set Up Client Computers.
4. On the client, access http//<Server name>/connectcomputer to bring up
the Setup Computer Wizard, it will then allow you to map domain user
accounts to local profiles on the machine thus preserving your profiles:
"Assign Users to this Computes and Migrate their Profiles".
5. You will Add a domain account to "Users assigned to this computer!/, and
then choose the existing local user profile in the "Current User Settings".
By Default, the value for "Current User Settings" is "None".
For the detailed steps, please refer to the following documents:
