I'm installing a new Windows Small Business Server 2003 and need to migrate an existing Exchange 5.5 off a Windows 2000 Server to the new server. Would like help o directions to white papers. Also - does SMS need to be the PDC?

Thanks

From my coworker:
There are two ways to migrate. One is to install the new server and exchange into the same organization as the 5.5 and then move the mailboxes to the new server, replicate public folders and after a week or so of working, remove the old server. OR use EXMERGE utility to extract all the mailboxes into pst files and import them to the new server. SMS does not need to be on a DC but it wouldn?t hurt.
