Are the roles splitting among the company? SBS 2011 has just RTM'ed. You could start with the 2008 box, add the SBS box to it, then migrate in all the users. Then break that server from the domain and rename it - re-joining the clients that it is left with.
Remember there are no domain trusts in SBS, so unless these are on separate networks it could get messy. Why not just put in a single SBS box and use permissions to set access? They can both have different domain names for email and the management would be simpler.

The other part is buying new servers and went with SBS 2008. I know you can migrate 2003 SBS fully to SBS 2008, using ADMT and various other migration tools, by microsoft, but this ends up switching of the previous domain controllers, and moves the whole domain to SBS2008. We are looking to move, the user accounts, files, mail boxes and PC's only for the users in the 2nd part, and setup and entirely new AD domain, and Exchange infrastructure, leaving the old one intact and functioning. Is this do-able? Any suggestions on where to look for help, as my google fu is lacking today and i can only find whole domain migrations. Thanks in advance.
