We are now on the final stage of the migration preparation on the SBS 2003 server. Depending on how much work was required, it may have taken some time to get to here. This last step will further update Active Directory and Exchange 2003 as well as install an update to the server enabling SBS 2003 and SBS 2008 to co-exist for 21 days.
To run the tool, insert the SBS 2008 DVD and navigate to the Tools folder. Here, you will find the file SourceTool.exe that you need to run.
Tip
The SBS 2008 DVD may not work on your SBS 2003 server if it only has a CD-ROM drive. If this is the case, put the DVD into a PC with a DVD drive and copy the Tools folder across the network onto the SBS 2003 server. Now, you will be able to run from the hard disk.
The tool starts off by re-emphasizing the importance of a backup. Assuming you have made a reliable backup, check the box and click on Next.
Once the tool has finished, it will confirm completion.
You will now need to restart...
