I need to migrate all accounts and Exchange mailboxes from SBS 2003 std to
SBS 2008 permium for a small company with about 25 accounts and 30 email
addresses in 3 different domains (companu1.com, company2.com and
company3.com). I will make sure that all users download their emails to their
clients before the migration so that there will be no unread emails left on
the server.

We ordered a new SBS 2008 server and it has arrived with OEM version of SBS
2008.

My plan is to :
. List all computers, groups, user accounts and email addresses in SBS 2003
server
. List all Shared folders on SBS 2003 server
. List all applications installed on SBS 2003 server
. List fax routing informations for 2 fax cards installed on SBS 2003
. Shutdown SBS 2003, disconnect it from network and remove its fax cards
. Insert fax cards to new SBS 2008 server and connect it to network, turn on
and set it up with the same domain name as now down SBS 2003 server
. Setup computer names, groups, user accounts, email address, shared folders
and fax rounting based on the lists prepared above.

Do you see any problem in the above migration path?

Thanks
Ali
