I'm moving a client from sbs 2003 standard to sbs 2011 standard later
this month. They don't use sharepoint or public folders and LOB apps are
installed on a separate server. I was planning on just doing the MS
migration. Anything else compelling that would make me use the swing kit?
Thanks.

In fact, just for the SharePoint vs. WSS stuff – it’s worth it. Spend it.

I made a recommendation to a client of mine – 50-something seats – to
move from SBS 2K3 Premium to SBS 2011 with Premium Add-on. I even had
CDW supply a quote so they could plan for it next fiscal year (over
$6K which is a significant chunk of their IT improvements budget).
Yesterday they tell me “here’s the delivery e-mail from CDW…”. Guess I
get a big project sooner than I thought J. Fortunately their current
SBS server is a Hyper-V VM so I should be able to practice this
upgrade in a lab.
Is the swing kit from sbsmigration.com worth it? Or rather, has anyone
here used this product in their swing? I ask because my other client
with SBS 2003 will likely do the same upgrade next year, but they’re
small and simple enough (they have all of 5 e-mail DL’s and three
security groups) I might do them by hand.
