Migrate Server 2008 + Exchange 2007 to SBS 2008?

there way migrate server 2008 sbs 2008?

i have been evaluating server 2008 exchange 2007 setup , see sbs 2008 available... exchange of pain setup proper addresses/certificates/server configs , i'm wondering if there's easy way migrate of on sbs 2008?

i saw there guides on how migrate sbs 2003 sbs 2008 , sbs 2008 sbs 2008 don't see regular 'ol server 2008... these other migrations involved using "answer file" ... found in tools directory... tried executing on server 2008 vm , crashes when starts.


anyone have idea if possible?  hate have reinstall on again because think sbs i'm going headed in long-term..


thanks much

hi,

 

you can transfer ad object , exchange windows server 2008 sbs 2008. general process likes following:

 

join a new sbs 2008 current domain , promote dc:

configure new machine gc , host dns. transfer fsmo roles new sbs 2008 dc.

 

migrate exchange server new server.

 

after verify new sbs 2008 dc , exchange server working, can demote windows server 2008 server.

 

alternatively, can consider using admt 3.1 migrate ad object new sbs server, migrate exchange server new server.
