Upgrading from SBS 2000 server to SBS 2003 R2

[johnpau80]

We have an SBS 2000(exchange 5.5/2000 )in it. (25 users )

WE are planning upgrade to the newer one, SBS 2003 R2 I guess with exchange 2003 in it.

Just wanted to check if this is the best one or upgrade to something else ?

Any upgrade paths ?

No upgrade available. Use ExMerge to export out the mail and import it into your new 2003 domain.

I hope you find this post helpful.

Try looking into

http://www.swingmigration.com/

Can't say for sure what you're doing is supported there, but that's the first place I'd look.

The swing migration would be a nightmare with Exchange 5.5 involved, which is why I did not suggest it.
