upgrading sbs 2003 to sbs 2011

hello

i currently have sbs 2003 and have more users than we currently have licences for.  i have been told we can no longer get sbs 2003 licenses and can get sbs 2011 instead.  as the server is already set up as we want it will an upgrade to 2011 reset any settings or keep everything as it is?

No, settings and your domain are preserved if you do a migration.
While it is not as easy as popping a DVD into your server and you need a second server to do it the right way it is doable and working fine.
Here http://blog.mpecsinc.ca/2009/06/sbs-2003-to-sbs-2008-migration-guide.html you can find a how to for sbs2003 to sbs 2008 migration just so you can see what it involves. With 2011 it is very similar.
