SBS 2003 migration to 2011 suggestions, part 2
Hi,
I have opened the same question here before https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/28017386/SBS-2003-migration-to-2011-suggestions.html , but that topic turned into discussion (which I appreciate very much!) about the common sense in my plan.
But as I am FORCED into doing it NOT PROPERLY, please, I ask this time only for technical details on how to proceed with the following. Please, do not discuss how and why my method is not good. Thanx.
The mission goal:
Migrate old SBS 2003 to new SBS 2011 on new hardware.
Migrate ONLY the following roles/parts:
- 40 users
- shared folders with permissions
Nothing else!
The users are NOT joined into domain (it was a failure of previous admin), so they only have 40 users in AD, and the same usernames/passwords on all 40 computers.
This part I will leave intact in this first step of migration. I will do full migration of users and move them all to domain LATER.
My main concerns:
since I am migrating really crappy setup system, I would like to migrate ONLY the needed roles, which are user SID's and shared folders.
Is it possible somehow to NOT migrate Exchange, SharePoint and WSUS (because I assume there is a lot of crap in old config)?
Again - I WILL start this migration this Friday, so I need tech support.
Thanx!

Both old and new are SBS servers.
The old is SBS 2003 and does not employ Exchange, WSUS nor SharePoint.
The new one is SBS 2011 and in the first step I only intend to replace old hardware to avoid failure. The important is that on Monday morning all 40 users would start working as before.
I would not migrate them into domain at this stage, because it is too messy and I would not finish from Saturday till Monday.
I will also configure Exchange later for all users on new server.

Found the answer myself, and noone else provided feedback worth rewarding.
What do you plan for Exchange or Mailbox\PF data ?
