I know this topic has been posted several times...but, I need a
different set of answers than what I've seen thus far. I'm looking for
a way to upgrade servers. There's currently a SBS 2003 server in place
in which we need to replace the hardware. So, basically, I need to be
able to migrate data from one SBS 2k3 server to another. However, we
dont have the resources to use the sbsmigration.com Swing IT! Kit. So,
I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction.
Documentation would help. Even if it has to be pieced together.
Basically, it's a migration of AD, DNS, Exchange, and data
files...please help. I'm new to this and would really like to find
whatever guidance I can. However, the budgeting isn't up to me so I
have to work with what I have: the old server and the new one.

There really is only two sets of answers. sbsmigration and roll your own
with some guidance from KB articles.
Doing a one time, first time, your own way, will cost you many hours of
labor and lots of frustrations including user 'dissatisfactions'.

I guess the other way is to engage someone that has done it themselves
before and likely has the reusable's from sbsmigration.com

Even at minimum wage, the sbsmigration method will give you good ROI for a
standard migration compared to the labor hours the manual method.
