We could refer to the article capabel69 provided and the steps Mohitkapoor provided to do the migration. Hope this helps. I have read the supplemental guide, "Integrate an on-premises Exchange Server with Windows Server Essentials", but don't really see how the Information Store is moved from the SBS server to the new server.
Can anyone clarify this? This is complete rubbish. The SBS server does not ever run a full active directory. Plus, what do you mean, "run a full active directory? Hello, I'm looking for the least painful method for migrating my SBS server to a new box and from what I've been reading it looks fairly complex.. I have 22 users and Exchange running on this server but I was thinking about just starting over with a new domain on the new box..
My plan is to recreate the same data structure, recreate users, move the data and install Exchange brand new.. I'm thinking about just importing the individual exchange address books and calendars as needed and provide the users a pstviewer for there old mailbox as needed.. I also have a Server running Terminal Services which I'm sure is going to complicate things even more.. I'm sure there's lots of pitfalls or reason not to do it this way so please let me know..
It doesn't work. Let's assume it doesn't for a second. My question is, if i do this, what's the cleanest method to migration each users local profiles? I'm thinking of just running the Win7 migration wizard, saving profiles to the server, disconnect from domain, reboot, join new domain then import. But yes when changing domains its a good idea to run Migration Wizard, note that things changed in Windows 8 and you cannot migrate using mig-wiz from Win7 to Win8.
For those I would use a raw file copy utility to get the profile over, some things like Outlook would have to be reconfigured.
Thanks nate but i'm moving from sbs to win standard. I wonder how you migration worked out? I am about to perform the identical scenario over the Christmas break. Last Christmas I migrated our on premise Exchange server in to the Microsoft cloud solution with absolutely no regrets. Our current environment is virtualized, I virtualize our original SBS server just after I was hired and moved into it when the hardware failed days later Whew I know!!
I haven't transferred the roles yet but I did run DCDiag and largely it looks ok just a few minor looking errors. My plans are perform the same steps and after transferring the roles on to the new DC and then before the 7 day limit hits, robocopy all the data to another Svr server.
I will then import the file Shares registry keys off the old SBS server to instantly recreate the shares on the Svr server I think they are compatible I will then renamed the Svr server to the same name of the now decommissioned SBS server. Select 'Exchange' tab, and then make sure the first box is checked only users with exchange mailbox.
But if somebody knows that this is strictly not supported changing to another language, than I would sadly leave it from beginning. Office Office Exchange Server. Not an IT pro?

This is exactly where I was heading by asking if the media had SP2. The original system is from and we're looking to do a migration to new hardware.
We managed to locate some that are, and they do boot up and launch the startup. But they will not accept the license key from the old server.
No, it's not Volume License media. It's the original install CDs from the server we're migrating from. A Dell, ordered with SBS And yes, it seems you must have SP2 to load the OS. That also hung. However, the OEM Product Key on the old server would not be valid for an install on any other machine anyway. On the original problem. It will reject the OS disc if the SP is not what you stated you wanted to install.
Unlike the OEM version, the Retail is supposed to be transferable to another machine. Slipstreaming SP2 into a non-Dell issued SBS gets you further into the installation but you still end up at a deadend. This is not a solution necessarily but just a clarification Product Keys are indeed hard-coded to match the media used. Keys are compatible only between Service Pack and platform - for example, a Standard key will activate install using Gold, SP1, or SP2, and a Standard key will activate bit or bit installs.
Also, keep in mind that SBS is not a supported version on the T Even if it is not "supported", it will usually work, but there may be a good reason why SBS is not supported. Dell does not "monitor" these forums, but there may be people from Dell who help on these forums outside of work.
