This chapter covers the finalizing of the migration tasks with the migration of the users and the remaining data from the SBS 2003 system to SBS 2008. Once again, tasks will need to be completed on both systems meaning that the SBS 2003 server must still be in use until these tasks are completed. Once all tasks are completed, you can recycle the hardware either by installing another licensed copy of Windows on the server or by asking your local recycling centre to recover the metals from the server.
We will cover the following tasks in this chapter:
Migrating file shares
Migrating the fax data
Migrating users and groups
Migrating LOB applications
Finishing the migration
Note
Impact on users
These tasks will have significant impact on users and should be carried out without users being attached to either server. Email may continue to be used without an issue. I would expect this section to take between four and eight hours to complete.
