Small Businees Server 2003 Migration Question

Experts Exchange Forum:

I have a client with an old server running Small Business Server 2000. The server runs Exchange and acts as a file and print server. I am going to build a new server with Small Business Server 2003 (either Standard or Premium Edition) and perform a migration. My client would like to keep the original server on the network as a file and print server with the Small Business Server 2000 operating system. Is this possible? Would there be a compatability issue with both servers on the network?

Thanks,

Joe

To Itoza:

I found an 80 page migration document from the Microsoft link that you supplied. I am in the process of reviewing it now. I want to rebuild the old server with Server 2003, join it to the domian as a memeber server, and just leave it as a file and print server. I am also going to look into the sbsmigration product supplied from olafdc's comment.

Question to olafdc - I thought you could not run additional domain controllers in an SBS environment? I thought you can only have one server running SBS holding all the functions (AD,Exchange, DHCP, DNS). Please confirm.

Thanks,
Joe
