In the MS white paper on migration to bpos or the bpos forums, or the technet site do I find any mention of SBS 2003. I do not assume that just because Exchange 2003 can make the migration that the SBS version can. Can anyone speak to this that has 1st hand knowledge?<br />
<br />
Background Info: Our server is beyond it's life but still hanging on. (Dell PowerEdge 600SC) Yes, there is a plan to replace it late this year. In the meantime.... In an effort to relieve the pressure on the server I want to migrate our users to an online email solution. I am looking at Google Apps and BPOS. The BPOS &nbsp;solution would be the least painful for the end user post-migration since they are already using OWA and is the option of choice due to the fear of loss of productivity learning to use &nbsp;Google Apps. We are a small firm of 15 with limited resources that works in a highly mobile environment. Going to an online solution for email is part of the master plan. I am open to your expert advice and or recommendations.

Can I migrate Small Business Server 2003 Exchange mailboxes to Microsoft BPOS?

Microsoft server applications are those applications developed specifically, but not necessarily exclusively, on the Windows Server platform. In addition to well-known products like SQL Server, Exchange, Internet Information Services (IIS), Microsoft Dynamics, Forefront, Lync and Sharepoint, they include applications like Skype, BizTalk, Hyper-V, Groove and Commerce Server. Server applications are managed with the Microsoft System Center.

Microsoft Server Apps

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).

Microsoft applications include a variety of software programs, including development and digital authoring programs (Expression and Media Center), educational programs, Internet software, including Essentials, Skype and the Live family, anti-virus, productivity applications and suites like Office, Excel, Word, Outlook, Access and PowerPoint, video games and server applications such as Exchange, SharePoint, IIS and Virtual Server.
