This week i had this project to migrate a 2003 sb server.
The OS stays the same but the hardware change, my technical director offers me a way of swing the hole sb server and do nothing on the client/workstation side.
This is a good concept and easy to use.
:
Swing Migration has revolutionized the way you can work. It is a process to accomplish a version upgrade, server replacement or domain infrastructure upgrade without giving up the domain, or the server name, or the integrity of your Exchange in the process. Remarkably, you can test the project to completion all while working offline with an open time line. You get a clean server installation retains all the critical Active Directory domain information and predictable results.
What is shown below is a diagram of the process, and further below is a simple outline of the process.
