Systems Engineering How-to
LockedI’m in the position of replacing our old server (hardware and software) with a new box and 2003SBS. I’m not a Systems Engineer, however. I’ve been browsing articles here and on Microsoft’s “knowledgebase”. I can’t find a walkthrough or a guide to replacing an entire server setup.
Our current server–despite being botched by the last netadmin–is functioning as a file server/dns server simultaneously.
A) Is this feasible with 2k3SBS?
– None of the articles seem to describe co-existing server roles.
B) If so, will it be self-explanatory on set-up?
C) If not, how is this accomplished?
D) (finally) What is the most simple way to migrate DNS directories, and does Microsoft’s “File Server Migration Toolkit” functionally maintain the integrity of the naming conventions?

Ultimately, if there’s a guide out there, I’d be indebted for a link. If there isn’t a guide, maybe some folks wouldn’t mind contributing information, and we can compile something of a newb’s guide to Sysengineering.
