Exchange old SBS2K to SBS2K3

The old SBS cannot be logged on to due to registry error.
They cannot find their SBS software to run repair. I
cannot get logged on in any way to move or perform a
migration of any type.
The situation:
I setup a new SBS 2K3 server with all the bells and
whistles. Got the company backup and running and they
started using their e-mail on the SBS 2K3. I have been
able to copy all the old data off of the old server, it
was on a spare drive, to include the priv and pub edb data
bases.
The question is; How do I put the old pub and priv into
the new exchange?
Can I use exmerge to export out the new. Drop the old pub
and priv in write the changes by restarting the store.
or
Do need to setup a SBS 2K server to migrate or exmerge
that data out?

Hi Bart,

To be able to use Exmerge, the Exchange 2000 would need to be running, so I
think you will need to setup a SBS 2k server for that, to exmerge the data
out and merge it into the 2003.

Hi Marina, thank you for the reply. Thats is what I
thought. I was wondering if I could drop the pub and priv
into the 2003 exchangein the same fashion as if you were
repairing the priv and pub.
Does that make sense to you?
