In the last few months my team has migrated 5 SBS2008, 3 from scratch because old server had AD and other problems and 2 using a migration procedure documented by MS in which both servers run in parallel for a couple o weeks, allowing for the seamless migration of roles, including Exchange, with little down time. It works very well. Unfortunately, I'm not in a good position now to send the link now but will dig it out as soon as I can get to a PC.
