Prep Site Make image backups Clean out “Junk” from Exchange/Files Cleanup AD Run EBS Prep wizard Use 1 gb network connection for servers Prep tool requires single NIC Backup Logon Scripts & GPO’s Plan Application migration (QB, Peachtree, etc.)

Triple check compatibility (64 bit?)

Server Integrity Check Run SBS BPA

Checks:○ Exchange Server○ Update service○ Network configuration○ Microsoft® Windows® SharePoint® Services○ The Microsoft SQL Server® database software

Check Service Packs○ Windows Small Business Server 2003 Service Pack 1 ○ Windows Server® 2003 Service Pack 2 ○ Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 2○ Windows SharePoint Services 2.0 Service Pack 2

Run ISInteg as close to migration as possible isinteg –s *SERVERNAME* –pri  -test alltests isinteg –s *SERVERNAME* –pri  -fix* -fix CAN destroy data, make sure you have a good backup!

Common Install Errors Source tool not run

Self explanatory, run the source tool on Source server

SP1 not installedCheck for SBS2003 SP1 (Not Server SP1)

○ HK_LM\Software\Microsoft\Small Business Server\Service Pack Number

○ If the key doesn’t exist, SP1 is not installed

Replication Failures Replication Taking too long

Check your services (rebooting will reset some)Fix Registry

○ SourceHK_LM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NTFrs\Parameters\Backup/Restore\Process at Startup\BurFlags = D4

○ DestinationHK_LM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NTFrs\Parameters\Backup/Restore\Process at Startup\BurFlags = D2HK_LM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters\SysvolReady = 1

○ Stop NTFRS on both, restart Source NTFRS first, then Destination

Cleanup Setup DHCP Ranges Let Synchronize for 90 minutes Setup GPO’s to replace login scripts

Moving FV-NSSB (2003)

AD – Backup DCExchangeCertificate HolderRWW/OWA

○ Firewall Ports

User DataSharePointApplications

FS-NSSB (2008)AD - FSMODNSDHCP

Begin the Move - SSL Certificate If you use SSL Certificate it needs to be

moved Make sure you export ALL certificates

(GoDaddy issues 3, 2 for GoDaddy, 1 for your site)

After importing and installing, run “Fix My Network” wizard

If the Certificate is moved BEFORE Public Folders a new Self-Signed Cert must be issued on SOURCE server

Move Exchange Move Mailboxes

Be prepared to loose a few emails Start Small to verify settings Move Offline Address Book Move Public Folders

Backup Public Folders to a mailbox After moving Exchange, re-point Firewall Disable Exchange services on Source until you know it

works on DestinationMigration Help file recommends uninstalling Exchange here,

we recommend waiting until the end

FS-NSSB (2008)AD - FSMODNSDHCPExchangeCertificate HolderRWW/OWA

SharePoint Option 1

Manually copy files & create new site

Option 2Follow Migration Guide to move site to

*NEWSERVER*\OldCompanyWebUse STSADM to move files & settings

○ stsadm –o export –url http://oldcompanyweb –filename *.bak –includeusersecurity –overwrite

○ stsadm –o import –url http://companyweb –filename *.bak –includeusersecurity –overwrite

Delete OldCompanyWeb

Users and Groups No Users or Groups show up in SBS

Console until this is done Must be done manually at any time

during migration Using ADSI Edit, open each user/group

and change specified attributeGroup Type

Moving FV-NSSB (2003)

AD – Backup DCUser Data

FS-NSSB (2008)AD - FSMODNSDHCPExchangeCertificate HolderRWW/OWASharePointApplications

Data Most time consuming – plan accordingly Get Share names from Source Server Always “pull” data

(ie Use Destination server to move data across, cuts packets by 1/3rd)

Robocopy script: robocopy \\FV-NSSB\UserShares \\FS-NSSB\UserShares

/E /COPY:DATSO /V /LOG:C:\Copyresults.txt /V is not in Migration Help File, tells Robocopy to list files

which did not copy correctly Disable user access to shares during data move

Cleanup FV-NSSB (2003)

AD – Backup DC Exchange Services

FS-NSSB (2008)AD - FSMODNSDHCPExchangeCertificate HolderRWW/OWASharePointApplicationsUser Data

Finish Migration Remove Exchange Move Shared Printers to Destination with same name Run DCPROMO and remove AD from Source

Failed to transfer floating point role to FS-NSSB○ This error means your DNS is still pointed at your source server,

point it to the Destination server and restart DCPROMO NetDom

Remove old server name from DNS/ADSInetdom computername FS-NSSB /add:FV-NSSB.nssb.ihnAdd DWORD:

HK_LM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\parameters\DisableStrictNameChecking = 1

Connecting a PC Navigate to http://connect Click Start Connect Computer Program Run Through Wizard Remapping profiles works well Don’t create computer name on server first Add SBS 2008 Vista Gadget

Using GPO’s with SBS 2008 Create a new GPO for your login script Vista, XP, & 2003 need Client Side

Extensions (Automatic Update) Use Preferences for Vista

Create EnableLinkedConnections DWORD registry key:HK_LM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Policies\System\EnableLinkedConnections = 1

Preferences work with XP if XmlLite is installed (Not an automatic update)
