But keep in mind that new installations means that profiles get horked, icons moved.
This post is a bit interesting. Because quite frankly the "kit" ... it's plain old active directory migration information. That's it. There's no magic here. You could piece it together yourself from MS KB's in fact.
The "kit" and value comes from Jeff holding you hand.
It teaches you in the process what active directory is all about.
Is it worth it for a small firm where there's one or two workstations? Maybe not.
Your money here is spent on the support value. Not the kit.
Recognize it for what it is.

There are many queries about how to migrate one or more components of SBS from point A to B. A very common response to them is "sbsmigration.com." That kit is good, which is why people recommend it, however, it is about $200, has a learning curve, and so it is not exactly a plug-and-play quick-fix. It is over-kill unless you do many migrations. For component migrations like Active Directory, Exchange, and so forth, and even for an entire SBS migration, a much better solution is the built-in tools. One can export data and import back into a new installation..
sbsmigration.com is not a panacea for all migrations, and so novices to SBS should avoid the temptation. There are other third-party solutions, but like sbsmigration, they also cost money and time to learn. Your time and money would be better spent learning about the built-in features of SBS. Each component has a data-management feature for backing up or exporting or importing data. There is one for SQL, Exchange, SharePoint, WSUS, etc.
