Hi Chris,

Thanks for explaining all this, was very useful. But I am still new to migration process and dont know where to strat from.

Actually, I have SBS 2008 server with pre-installed OS. Now I want to migrate from SBS 2003 to SBS 2008 and I want it with minimul work and less technical stuff.

Now I was wondering how can we start migration if you have SBS 2008 already installed. In migration mode, do we install the server from scratch and use answer file? if yes, then i was not sure about Administrator account you mentioned that we should create a new one. if we dont have Server installed yet how do we create admin account to use in migration mode? or is it admin of SBS 2003?

I will really appricaite your time if you colud please help me.

many thanks,

Ali

The documents that cover SBS 2000 as the Source server are in line for publishing. As soon as I am able to provide a date I will post back.

Thank you for the input regarding the use of DFS. For migration we concentrated on providing a path form the existing out of the box workloads to the new out of the box workloads and as DFS in not integrated/utilised by either SBS 2003 or 2008 we did not provide any specific path. I do agree that DFS could be useful in a box to box migration of this type and can certainly be implemented by a partner on the domain prior to the migration and migrated to SBS 2008 via the DFS migration methodologies.

Thanks!

Be nice to see the following in the migration:

- use of DFS Consolidation Root to leave UNC paths intact after migration
- use of DFS for any new shares, eliminating the need for UNC path migration in the future
