Hey all,

Have an existing 2003SBS installation. The server it's on is now long in the tooth and is to be replaced by a spanking new server, which will be installed with our original copy of SBS2003. The existing server will then be trashed, installed with 2003 server and join the SBS domain to be a member server in a branch office.

My question is thus:

What is the best way to migrate the data, given that SBS hates all other domains / trusts / etc????

Any ideas would be helpful. I'm happy to create a brand new domain and migrate all the workstations over - there's not many that it affects, but I do need a fairly swift solution so I can enjoy the weekend!!! LOL!

Your suggestions appreciated as ever.

But keep in mind that if your original SBS installed is an OEM installation, Microsoft won't support activating it on new hardware.
