Thanks. I am familiar with SBS but I'm sure there are enough configuration things I have forgot that a couple hundred bucks will save me more than that in time trying to figure it out.
Thanks!

Smith Consultant and Exchange MVP http://TheEssentialExchange.com From: David Lum [mailto:david....@nwea.org]<mailto:[mailto:david....@nwea.org]> Sent: Thursday, December 08, 2011 9:06 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Be careful what I wish for I made a recommendation to a client of mine - 50-something seats - to move from SBS 2K3 Premium to SBS 2011 with Premium Add-on. I even had CDW supply a quote so they could plan for it next fiscal year (over $6K which is a significant chunk of their IT improvements budget). Yesterday they tell me "here's the delivery e-mail from CDW...". Guess I get a big project sooner than I thought :). Fortunately their current SBS server is a Hyper-V VM so I should be able to practice this upgrade in a lab. Is the swing kit from sbsmigration.com worth it? Or rather, has anyone here used this product in their swing? I ask because my other client with SBS 2003 will likely do the same upgrade next year, but they're small and simple enough (they have all of 5 e-mail DL's and three security groups) I might do them by hand.
