your SBS2k3 questions would be better off in
microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs
Your scenario is more of an upgrade than a migration. Upgrade being defined,
if I may, as going from an earlier version to a later on the same hardware.
My opinion of what constitutes a migration differs somewhat from MS's. The
MS migration documents describe a method of installing SBS2K3 onto new
hardware and 'migrating' your machine and user accounts to a new AD. My idea
of a migration is more a 'domain migration'. There are benefits, and
pitfalls, to both methodologies.
