That was it! Needless to say the client is very happy, and most employee’s hardly noticed a thing (other than I was onsite all day yesterday, which had never happened before ;-). Convert everyone from Exchange 2003->Exchange 2010: Check Convert domain controller to SBS2011 (aka2008R2): Check Convert LexisNexis application from SQL2005 – SQL2008R2: Check <Upgrade from PracticeAdvantage 10 to PA 11: Check!> Move printers from 2003 32-bit server to SBS2011 64-bit server: check (this went easier than expected) Recreate shared folders and perms: check Copy all data to new server (did you know there’s a utility for 2008 R2 to restore from .BKF files?): Check Reconfig home directories from share-per-user to single share/ABE/SBS2011 default locations: Check Worthy to note that SBS2011 really encourages you (er, me) to not treat SBS like just a small domain with Exchange. Pretty slick OS too. I could NOT have done it without the SBSSwing kit, there are so many little things that Jeff’s team has figured out. I don’t have any current certs, but I passed that test! W00t!
