SBS 2003 BPA results - sanity check please
Hi all
I am about to migrate my client from a very much overloaded SBS2003 server to multiple Server 2008 R2 + Exchange 2010 solution.
After running BPA, can someone please verify what is really crucial to fix, and/or what can be safely ignored?
Please note that there are no current known issues.

Correct, it was not set up using Wizards...
I am already following that guide, just wondered if anything there jumped out at you as an immediate migration failure.

I think I just remembered what the Vista/Outlook 2007 means:
SBS 2003 RipCurl:

Addresses the compatibility issues.

Your best bet is to have a good System State and full backup of the server. To us "Good" means _test restored successfully_.
Since SBS is not set up like SBS anything goes.
Your methodology to migrate can be found in Glen's guide here:
