migrating my exchange

Bill Baggesen — Wed, 21 Feb 2007 16:41:58 GMT

im trying to migrate my exchange from 2003 small business server to 2003 standard....

exchange 2007 seems to need 2003 schema master

does this mean i need to swap my schema master from 2k3SBS to the new 2k3 standard?

I think you are looking at the wrong steps here. Exchange 2007(!) is very different:

Bill,
Currently you cannot install exchange 2007 in SBS domain

Q. Will Exchange Server 2007 be part of Microsoft Windows Small Business Server (SBS)?
A. Yes, Exchange Server 2007 will be an integral part of the "Longhorn" (code name for the next Windows release) version of Small Business Server (SBS). SBS is expected to be released six to twelve months following the release of the "Longhorn" version of Microsoft Windows Server.

Of course, if you migrate from SBS 2003 to windows 2003 domain - you can install Exchange 2007 in this new domain and migrate mailboxes.
