Remove SharePoint and SQL from SBS 2003 before Migration?
All,
I am migrating from SBS 2003 to Windows Server 2008 R2 and Exchange 2010. I am using the following instructions as base guide: http://demazter.wordpress.com/2010/04/29/migrate-small-business-server-2003-to-exchange-2010-and-windows-2008-r2/
I am considering completly removing MS SharePoint and SQL off the SBS 2003 server before I migrate the server. Reason is because we no longer use MS SharePoint or SQL and I want to have the server in its simplest form to increase the chances of a clean migration. The first attempt at migration ended in disaster so I am being extra careful and addressing every possible issue.
Does this seem like an unnecessary move or a good plan?
Thanks
