I haven’t ever set up SBS 2008, but if it’s anything like SBS 2003 the answer is pretty much no. What would you need to do before creating at least the domain? I agree that a 6 user domain is hardly worth creating and testing a migration plan other than recreating all the objects from scratch. That is, unless there is something really unusual or difficult in the mix. (Like having to re-install a really tricky to setup SQL-based LOB application, for example).
Good luck, RS From: Jeff Brown [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, January 08, 2010 11:46 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: SBS 2008 Question I will be installing a NEW SBS 2008 server soon which will replace an existing SBS 2003 server. I am wondering if I can bring the new server online and work on it without configuring AD/Exchange for a period of time, THEN rename the box, configure exchange and AD and do the rest of the migration? There are only 6 users for this domain, so I'm not even going to mess with Exchange migration, we'll move it all off, then move it back on... Anyone know the answer to this? thanks so much for any help. Jeff ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
