So do a cutover migration of emails then migrate sbs2003 server to the new server 2012 essentials. But there may be a brief time where the user accounts are not synced up? correct? Which isn't a big deal if it's short term.

I currently have an SBS2003 server that is running our AD and exchange (about 20 emails and only 14 actual users). We are looking to migrate to office365 or some sort of hosted exchange. We will be replacing this server with a 2012 essentials server that will only run AD, not exchange.<br />
I'm running a trial with office365 enterprise but I cannot migrate any emails to test due to our sbs2003 server being 32 bit and active directory sync requires 64 bit. What options do I have? I don't think I can really fully test office365 with just one or two of my current emails.

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).

Cloud computing, also known as on-demand computing, is a kind of Internet-based computing where shared resources and information are provided to computers and other devices. It is a model for enabling ubiquitous, on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources. Cloud computing and storage solutions provide users and enterprises with various capabilities to store and process their data in third-party data centers, relying on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economies of scale.
