Make good backup and keep your SBS server as a fall back in case things fail.
You have a pretty good plan to bring the new server on-line. Make sure you
understand that all five of the FSMO roles must be moved.

Make sure to give AD time to replicate competely to the new server then
shutdown the SBS server.
Then you must install Exchange on your new server. Once that is installed then
look at restoring the backups of Exchange to the new server.

Once this is done, you should be able to login into the domain with the same
user profiles and the users should be able to use email as before.
This is a really big job be careful & Good Luck.

Dear Tim
i am sorry if i Emailed you without take Permission from you .
i am still new to exchange and i need some help, can you Please Help me .
i have this Problem and i want your Advice Please :-
==================================================================================
i have one server from Dell, its installed on it Small Business server 2000 .
this server is Domain Controller and also has ISA Server 2000 , and Exchange
2000 on it .
i have here 25 users connect to this server and 8 of them are under workgroup
and the rest under My Domain. ( 17 users ).
The Original CD For Small Business Server2000 is not with us at all and also
the Exchange 2000 CD's and ISA Server CD.
we are going to Return this Server Back to the Company.
so i want to have my users still connected to the network and able to send &
Receive Messages from the E-mail after i take out this server from the
Network.
if i take it out the old server, my users will be anuable to browsing Internet
& Send & Receive E-mails.
and if i installed another New one with new domain , they will lose the Profile
settings for them .
the main thing that , i do not want to Formate every PC here in my network and
create another domain and join all of the users to the new domain because they
will lose the Profile settings and also some of them are out side country and
they will not comeback before 3 monthes.
=====================================================================
for that , i am thinking of something, instead of Formate the new Server and
put another O.S which is Advanced server 2000 SP4, i am thinking of something .
what is that :-
while the old server is still connected on the Network i will do the following
:-
1-Bring new Server.
2-install on it Advanced server 2000 SP4.
3-join this Server to the Domain.
4-Run DCPROMO on it .
5-Make another Domain Controller in the same domain.
6-Go to the First Doamin Controller and open Active Directory users and
computer .
7-Choose connect to the First Domain Controoler.
8-Change the Operation Master of the first DC to be on the Seconde D.C.
( RID Master , PDC , DNM ).
9- go to Active directory Sites and services .
10-under the default first site name choose the seconde server ( Seconde Domain
Controoler and Make him is Global Catalog ) .
i mean take the global catalog from the old server to be on the seconde server .
11-Shutdown the First server.
12-disconnect it from the Network & Return Back to the Comapny.
13- formate the old one and Install on it Advanced server 2000 SP4 and make the
same steps to reurn it! back to the first domain Controoler .
======================================================================

Small Business server 2000 and i will use Advanced server 2000 SP4 .
