Migrating away from SBS 2003 - Deploy Windows Server 2008 R2/Exchange 2010

Proposed Migrating away from SBS 2003 - Deploy Windows Server 2008 R2/Exchange 2010

    This is my scenario:  The parent company is splitting into two smaller companies, both reside at the same location. They will be sharing data between the two domains for the first year, then the second company will be moving into its own office. Small user base of 25 users per company

    We ordered two Dell Poweredge R710’s, Windows Server 2008 R2 and Exchange 2010 standard for each company.

    The first server has been installed with Windows Server 2008 R2 added to existing domain (DC Promo, GC, DNS).

    Exchange and second server have yet to be built, depending on your recommendations. 

    I was looking into deploying exchange 2010 using HYPER-V on both servers. This way I could move the exchange VHD to its own server when the company out grows the current server implementation.

    I am looking for some guidance on how to best decomission SBS 2003, move mailboxes, files etc. What are the pitfalls in setting up this two domain/exchange rollout, if any? Is Hyper-V a good deployment strategy for exchange 2010 in this scenario?

    Look forward to your recommendations

    I apologise if this is the wrong group, this is my first time posting.

    Hi

    I just finish one of the project migration from sbs2003 to server 2008 and exchange 2007. 

    you need to do lot og preparation before you do in live server.

    i done it first in test enviroment and then hit on the live server I used swing migration notes and it's works perfect.

    I done a lot of migration I always used these notes.

    for this whole mproject

    setup a temp dc

    replicate ad to temp dc

    build exchange 2003 in tempdc

    use forklift for exchange 2003

    seize fsmo role on temp dc

    join server 2008 on to temp dc

    if using same box install exchange 2010

    make GC server

    move mail boxes and public folders to new server 2008

    once all move delete connectors on temp dc

    promote server 2008 to primary domain controller

    demote temp dc

    rmove exchange 2003

    that is shortest  guidence i can provide

    notes consists of 400 pages

     

    thanks
