How do I migrate and existing Microsoft SBS Premium 2003 server to newer hardware?
I currently have an MS SBS Premium 2003 server and purchased a bigger better server and want to migrate my existing setup to the new server. I then want to repop the existing server as a second AD controller and DNS server. What is the best procedure to do this?

SBS Is not meant to have any other domain controllers in its environment (you will run into problems). If it something you are wanting i would advise transitioning from SBS to a windows 2003 domain setup by using the transition pack.

ADMT = Active directory migration tool.
Basically you will setup your new SBS domai the way you want it. Setup it up just like SBS is meant to be setup.
Then do a migration using the tools to migrate the user accounts, groups, and computer.
The profiles and settings will remain the same for the user
Really the only thing you wil need to cahnge are the custom shortcuts peopel have created to your server name.
If they use shortcuts to mapped drives then that wil all fit into place when it is completed.
