I have not worked with SBS very much, please excuse my ignorance...

I currently have a single server SBS 2000 domain. I plan to put in a
new server running SBS 2003. I need help on the following:

1. Whats the best way to move the AD accounts, mailboxes etc from one
eachange server (ie the SBS 2000 box) to the new exchange (SBS 2003).

2. Can I demote the SBS 2000 box to a member server and remove all
traces of AD/exchange from it?

3. I run a 2003 terminal server, wil the user profiles (docs and
settings) corrupt when I change domains?

Many thanks for any assistance.

Hi Ryan,

You will want to migrate from SBS 2000 to 2003. There is the ms way:

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/sbs/upgrade/default.mspx

which will mean you have to use a different server and domain name on the
2003 and links are broken. So quite some work to do on the workstations.

You can also install the basic W2k3 server on the new box and make it a DC
in the SBS 2000 domain. Transfer the FSMO roles and all the rest, and finish
the setup on the SBS 2003 (there is lots more to do, but you won't need much
work on the workstations).

Then there is de Swing It method from Jeff Middleton (www.sbsmigration.com)
that uses a temporary server and the final server can be the same
servername, no work at all on the workstations.

You can not demote the S BS 2000, you will have to flatten it completely and
reinstall with plain W2k3 server media.
