Hi folks,

I am about to start my SBS 2003 to SBS 2008 migration with SBSMigration.com.
I purchased the technicians kit, have downloaded the docs, am reading
through them currently. My new physical server is in place, I have my SBS
2008 Premium software, and am waiting on my tempDC to arrive (bought a $300
server from Dell for the purpose, and will use it for something else after
migration). I have a couple of questions and request for advice before I
begin the actual migration.

1) My plan is to use Hyper V( I downloaded the stand alone version) to
create two child partitions, one for SBS 2008, and one for the companion
Server 2008 Standard. I have a Dell R710, with 24G memory and 5-300Gb
drives. My plan is to create a raid 5 at the HW level, and for SBS give it
16Gb RAM, a 100Gb partition for the OS, 250Gb for Exchange, and another 100Gb
for miscellaneous. Then my Server 2008 standard, 8Gb RAM, a 100Gb for the
OS, 400Gb for file storage (current server I'm replacing has about 200Gb
capacity for storage), and leave about 250Gb unused for a possible 3rd VM or
additional space needs on the existing two.
Does this sound reasonable for the SBS portion?

2) Also, as a part of my cleanup of my existing SBS server, what is the
best way to remove user accounts/mailboxes for archival purposes, so I can do
that and not have to migration old mailboxes?

Any other advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Mike
