I know nothing of SBS, but you say you have not transferred any fsmo's
then shutdown the server with them and you have issues?
Did I miss something?

Subject: SBS2003 Migration Question

Hi Guys,

It's rather late and my brain's fried.  Hopefully someone can point out what I 
missed.

I have managed to migrate SBS2003 to Windows 2008 Standard Edition w/ Exchange 
2010.

AD has replicated, the files and permissions are good, Mailboxes all moved, DNS 
and DHCP looking reasonable.

At this point I have not moved the FSMO roles or anything like that.

We shut down both the old SBS2K3 server and the new 2008 server and reorganized 
the server room.

I then turned on only the 2008 server.  Workstations can log into the domain 
and show the logon server as the new server.

Interestingly Outlook on the workstations will not successfully connect to 
Exchange on the new server.  The server name in Outlook does point to the new 
server.

Shutting down the new server and starting the SBS server and then the 2008 
server allows Outlook to work successfully.

I suspect I have to transfer a role or something equally basic.  Can someone 
please provide a hint?

Thanks

Shawn
