Re: Moving users from one SBS to another

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry


Larry is absolutely correct. At this point, you have few good options. If there's any way at all to go back to the original server with the machines still joined to that domain, I'd do that and then from there a Swing Migration is the solution. If you've already decommissioned the existing server, then you're looking at a lot of manual work and no good solution to the email question.

We are downsizing the business so have opted for a smaller SBS server instead
of our rack, have reinstalled our SBS2003 software and given the machine a
new/different local domain.

I now need to move (about 30 users) everyone's information, files and email
from one machine/domain to the other.

At the same time, I want to set everyone up with roaming profiles.

Both machines are currently in the same room and on the same sub-net, so
hopefully that will make it a little bit easier.

Can anyone give me some general advice how to do this painlessly or point me
to where I can read up on it?
