sbs 2003 to sbs2003-new server same settings-

[joat25]

hi everyone-
i read a lot of posts on here about moving from sbs2000 to sbs2003, but i have a site that has simply outgrown the hardware of their sbs2003 server.
they purchased a new sbs2003 server and want to retain the original domain name, etc (server name would be nice, but not crucial).
are there any suggestions for (easily)moving exchange data from the old server to the new server (considering they are both sbs2003 boxes)? the exchange migration util is out as they can't both be on/in the same domain due to sbs, etc. the rest of the data is pretty easy, but exchange is the problem.
thanks,
kevin

From everything I've heard, Jeff Middleton's "swing migration" kit is the miracle cure for your situation. I know a lot of SMB consultants who use it regularly. Supposedly it reduces the migration time down to a couple of hours, with almost no downtime.

You'd keep the same domain name and server name, I believe.
