What type of server is the advanced server (ie pdc/ member)? SBS is a pdc so if you've set up the new server as that also, I don't think it's possible. You could put the 2 servers on different network segments and exmerge - or exmerge and copy to backup tape. You can use the csvde or ldifde to create the users/ mailboxes - plenty of articles on technet about this Upgrading to backoffice when you already have an advanced server there is a bit of a waste of money (unless you are going to use it but the way I read you it is going away) I recently had to merge 2 domains - one on existing sbs2k and the other on sbs4.5 Used exmerge, data to tape and import onto sbs2k - worked a treat.

As I understand it, you must upgrade the SBS server to BackOffice and then you can use my method. If I'm wrong, an SBS expert can correct me.

Anyway, I'm on step 7 which says "Create new mailbox stores and public folder stores on the new server to match the old server (This is not a requirement per se, you might instead choose a different configuration to take advantage of new and improved hardware)." However, I look in the Exchange Manager and do not find my new server. I only see the old server which is still in production. Any explanation why I don't see my new server? This new server has AD installed and is in the same tree as the old server. In the interest of full disclosure, the old server is Small Business Server 2000 and my attempt is to install the new server as Win2k Adv Server and Exch2k. Eventually, the old SBS will go away.
