Transfering SBS 2003 to new hardware

Hello!

We have a SBS 2003 Server (premium edition sql,exchange,isa server inc) on a
small company and about 15 clients (winxp).We want to move this SBS to a new
server (with new hardware) because of some hardware failures issues on the
old one.This server is acting as AD,DC,Exchange Server,ISA server (2nics) and
SQL server.I want to transfer all these to the new server.Do you think that
this procedure will do the job:

thank you

Hello and thanks for your reply.
I've already seen this option but i was wondering if there's another
solution from MS?any documentation or something?

The solution from MS does not work well and involves actually creating a
whole new domain.
Lots of down time, etc, etc, etc.

sbsmigration is the tool MS should have built.

They did. It's standard Active Directory stuff and procedures. Jeff
just does the hand holding along the way.

just to expand on this a little.

SwingIT is a process, basically a 'compendium' of MS KB articles, there's no
'magic' in it. (Both Cris and Susan know this)

Anyone with time on their hands can replicate the SwingIT process from MS
KB's.

In addition to the process Jeff does supply some handy tools and to me _more
importantly_ support of the project. An MS support 'incident', which may not
deal with any but an individual part of a migration costs more than a single
SwingIT project.

The part about 'no magic' is significant because though MS will not support
the process itself the resulting system is fully MS supportable.

The other thing you are paying for in a SwingIT kit is a bit of creative
thought. At first glance the SBS limitations suggest mgration is not
possible, people knowing SBS know differently.

gotta golf, c'ya.

A very good point SG that I don't recall being made this succinctly before.

the point has been made before kj.

I look good because I stand on the shoulders of giants.
