Wouldn't you have domain SID issues? I think I remember something like that trying to do a test some time ago here in the lab. The old ABC.Local identification will be different from the new ABC.Local identification.
There is the Microsoft migration paper for SBS2008 that outlines going from regular server 2003 to SBS2008. Or try this link: http://msmvps.com/blogs/bradley/archive/2008/12/03/migrating-from-2003-to-sb s-2008.aspx Art From: Matt Plahtinsky [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, January 22, 2010 2:27 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Downsizing to SBS. Same domain name? I have a client that is going to be moving from a 2003 domain with VERY old hardware to Small Business Server 2008 new hardware. Here is my question. Can you think of any problems if we keep the same internal domain name? If I disconnect the pc's from the old domain ABC.LOCAL and connect them to the new SBS domain ABC.LOCAL could that cause any problems? In the past I have always changed the internal domain/DNS names when doing migrations like this. The client would like to keep the same name so that's why I'm asking. With out knowing the repercussions I would think that it could potentially cause a ton of issues.
