You suggested use my actual SBS like active directory and the new one just like Exchange Server

but how i gonna transfer the database  manually?
I do not believe that is a supported method
use my actual SBS like active directory
.

You will need to bring up 2 new servers in your environment 1 for DC and another for Exchange. You will then need to migrate Exchange first then once Exchange is completely migrated you can remove it from the SBS server. At this point you would transfer the FSMO roles to your second Domain Controller and then demote SBS server.

Previous comments are correct. I've move many clients from sbs to std. I will say that technically, DC/Exchange same box IS 'supported' but NOT recommended! Having said that, you can proceed like any other exchange/AD migration upgrade by prepping forest/domain bring on new DC on 1 box, configure DNS, ect, prep for Exchange, configure on another box as mentioned above. All of this was mentioned in other comments. and all are supported with SBS. BUT, the very last thing is moving FSMO roles. You better be done with your SBS server. After moving roles, you have 24 hours and SBS will reboot every hour!
