A customer has come to me with an SBS2003 server with failed hard drives.<br />
<br />
I've got a backup of all the data, but they don't have a System State backup. Therefore, I'm rebuilding the server from scratch.<br />
<br />
From experience, the workstations will require re-joining to the domain and local profiles copying to the new profile. Is there any way to avoid doing this?

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).
