Client outgrew Exchange 2003 Information Store limitations.<br />
Convinced client to purchase new server hardware and SBS2008.<br />
<br />
Since I dont trust the previous installation (worried about root kits and the like) I intend to install the new SBS server as a new install rather than an upgrade.<br />
<br />
My question is how do I safely migrate the terminal services server to the new domain properly and with as little reconfiguration as needed?<br />
<br />
Is it a safe practice to demote the terminal services server from the domain, and then join to new domain?<br />

I've never worked with a temrinal services server so I'm a little worried about the process...<br />

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).

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).

Remote access may refer to the connection to a data-processing system from a remote location, for example through a virtual private network remote desktop software, terminal emulation, or the activation of features of a business telephone system from outside the business's premises.
