Migration from Server 2003 (Enterprise) to SBS 2008
I will be doing a migration from Server 2003 to SBS 2008 and I am planning to use the Migration wizard to migrate the data and mailboxes across. Has anyone done this successfully before - if so how?
Bearing in mind there is 500gb of data/mailboxes to migrate approx how long should the transfer take?
Also how are shared folders migrated and then redeployed without losing consistency whilst client computers are potentially saving data?

There are approx 30 users in total who could potentially be using e-mail during the migration
Those users will extend the migration time, as i stated before we had 72 users and although they were informed not to use email or access their data files, users were still accessing files and leaving outlook open. In which case we spent more time finding the pc to close everything out.
And demazter that is an excellent article, i mean that is seriously awsome and details. Nice work.
