    SBS2008 + Swing Migration

    Anyone done one recently, any hints on what to watch out for ?

    Going to be doing one of my biggest SBS sites soon, 60 odd users.

    One main office, one branch office with a DC and several remote offices
    around the world all connected over IPSec tunnels.



    We plan on upgrading the brach DC to Windows Server 2008 at the same time,
    will demote and re-promote following the upgrade.

    Mainly we just want the AD user accounts as there is quite a lot of other
    third party infrastructure setup and not having to change accounts would
    make it a breeze.

    We'll be waving a fond farewell to ISA Server..lots of customers missing
    this now....and Outlook..though I must admit its been a while now since I
    last installed Outlook from ClientApps..

    Going to have a test run through at some stage in the near future, just
    wondering if anyone has been there done it got the t-shirt etc etc

    Anyone ?
