Hello,
I am starting an upgrade from windows 2003 standard to SBS 2003.
Here is my current config.

1 domain 1 forest. 2 servers in my network are DCs. One is running
windows 2k server and the other is Windows 2003 srv std. The win2k srv
is the original DC and holds all the roles. For technical reasons I
can only use the win2k3 svr machine to upgrade to SBS.

My plan is as follows:
Upgrade the win2k3 OS to SBS 2k3
Transfer the operation modes and GC from win2ksvr to new SBS
At this point I will either Demote the Win2k svr or upgrade to Win2k3
svr
std
Promote the Active Directory Domain and Forest functional levels to
2003.
Install and confige the Exchange Svr on SBS. <--- this is the objective
of the whole project. An exchange server 2003 with full functionality
of of the
2003 AD.

Questions:
when I upgrade the Domain can I use the same technical document
resources
from Windows 2003 srv on Technet? I couldnt find anything on this in
the SBS
section.

Does this plan of action look good? Any suggestions?

Thanks
