Hi Experts,<br />
<br />
I am planning a migration from a Server 2003 R2 Enterprise to a SBS2011 server. This is my first migration to SBS2011 so I am trying to make sure I have everything in place. According to technet article, the migration is a little different in SBS2011. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://blogs.technet.com/b/sbs/archive/2011/01/20/introducing-the-sbs-2011-migration-preparation-tool.aspx" rel="ugc">http://blogs.technet.com/b/sbs/archive/2011/01/20/introducing-the-sbs-2011-migration-preparation-tool.aspx</a><br />
<br />
I just want to make sure that the above article is correct in terms that I run a migration tool from the SBS2011 server. <br />
<br />
Also, does any preperation need to be done on the source (Server 2003 R2 Enterprise) server? The current source server is running:<br />
<br />
ADUC<br />
DNS<br />
DHCP<br />
Exchange 2003<br />
<br />
Thanks!

Migration to SBS 2011 from Server 2003 R2 Enterprise

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).
