One of the biggest issues with new SBS servers is when keeping your existing
domain and the difficulty of maintaining the same profile for your users. If
you are building a new domain you will not have this problem, although you
will have the peopleware problems if you don't ensure that your users can
access their docs when they log on to the new domain.
Your main task to ensure continuity will be to make sure the data in your
exchange stores gets copied across and that your users can access all their
old mail. One would think this should be simple and straightforward but
without proper preparation it is not.
You may also wish to check out http://www.sbsmigration.com/ (no

expertise to make this task (and your life/sanity) easier.

Hello,
Well, our existing server is due for replacement and as the
absolutley
essential element of our business data is our exchange 2003 server
and
BCM 2003 I thought I'd get some advice before specing a new server.
Currently we run SBS 2003 (Std) with Exchange 2003 and BCM 2003 on a
P4 2.8G with 3G memory and a 200G Raid0. Upto 10 clients hit it,
(some
via Gigabit ethernet, some via G wireless, some via H/W VPNs some via
S/W VPNs) and its starting to creek.
Thinking of going to something like a Xeon 5335 2G with 4G memory and
300G Raid0. May have one or two more clients. I would like to stay
with SBS although it will probably be a new license (old one is
OEM).
OK, so bearing in mind everything is currently 2003, what should I be
doing in tuerms of SBS, Outlook and BCM? What horrors await me
bearing
in mind that I am going to completly rebuild my domain (various
reasons) so a new domain is to be built and the clients moved over to
it one by one.
Thanks
Stuart
