My migration from SBS2003 to SBS2008 has been a struggle. I created the
SBSANSWER.XML file on the Source server and put it on removable media,
but the Destination server didn't convert that into an INFO.XML file
during the migration. Unfortunately I'm too far into the migration to
back out and try it again.

I've been able to copy the SBSANSWER.XML file to the INFO.XML file, but
the Migration Wizard is failing on the Destination server. I suspect
there's more to the INFO.XML file than what's int eh SBSANSWER.XML.

Does anyone have an INFO.XML file they can share so I can see what it's
supposed to look like?

Thanks!

Whoops... meant to say *sbsanswerfile.xml, not SBSANSWER.XML. *

When the server can't read the answer file in migration mode it doesn't
start the server in migration mode. That means you shouldn't be far
along at all to stop and start over again.

Why do you think you are too far into the migration? Where are you at?
