I have a SBS2000 domain and I want to upgrade to Windows 2003 Enterprise.
Can I do it by doing the following:

a. Add new Windows 2000 Server to the domain.

b. Promote the Server from step "a" to new Windows 2000 Domain
Controller (With DNS) in the same domain.

c. Install Exchange 2000 on the new Windows 2000 Domain
ontroller - you may need to add the Exchange 2000 to the same
Exchange organization.

d. Move users mailboxes from old Exchange 2000 to the new Exchange
server.

e. Move Public Folders from old Exchange 2000 to the new Exchange
server.

f. Move GC+ FSMO functions from the original domain controller to
the new domain controller .

g. Remove the original Exchange server from the original Exchange
organization.

h. Demote the original domain controller to be a member server.

i. Remove the member server (step "h") from the domain.


PLEASE HELP, I'M ABOUT TO MIGRATE TO START THIS MIGRATION.

I don't see any issues with this as long as you aren't planning to use the
Exchange software from SBS
And you have to buy all new cals (don't know if you can still get win2k
server cals)

I've got it all worked out for the licensing. I was going to uninstall
Exchange and all other SBS services before making the move is the a better
decision, since I did not use any of them?

Doesn't matter whether you use them or not.
You cannot install the components from the SBS software on any other not SBS
system

Its clearly stated in the EULA and I believe if you try it actually gives
you an error that this is not an SBS machine.
