I've done (3) SBS2003 to SBS2011 migrations in the past, many years ago. Have another one coming up shortly. I seem to recall that a lot of people balked at doing the Microsoft method of migration 2003->2011 with the SBS migration tools because it typically ended up being way more headache than it was worth (problems coming up, things not working as expected, etc.) In the end it seemed that, if you only had a single server and couple workstations (< 10), rather than going through the headache of the MS migration method, to just build the new SBS server, rejoin the machines to the domain, re-add the users, migrate the data, export/import the email via PSTs, and be done with it, which seemed to save a LOT of wasted BS compared to the problems encountered during MS' migration procedure....
Curious to know if that's still the preferred option for those of you still involved in SBS? Thanks for any feedback. JR
