Asked By Robert

10 clients only.

Does it make sense to do the sbsmigration.com or is the built in migration
sufficient for me?

My main applications are on the member server  MOSS2007 and an Autodesk Data
Management application.

Will the built in migration be able to recognize the member server and
maintain its 'integration' with it. I mean things like incoming mail to OSS
etc.

Hello,

Thank you for posting here.

According to your description, I understand that:

You want to know the practice to migrate from SBS 2003 with 10 clients and
member servers to SBS 2008.

If I have misunderstood the problem, please do not hesitate to let me know.

Yes, the built in migration tool will achieve your goal smoothly. The built
in migration tool will temporarily add the SBS 2008 server as the
additional domain controller. It indicates that all member servers will be
remained in the domain and all clients will also stay in the domain that
SBS 2008 server will host.

know.
