    Also, useful tips:
  • Make sure you uncheck "Run unattended" when generating the answer file.
  • Burn the answer file to a CD and just use that, getting various servers to see the USB drive is a pain.
  • You'll know if you're in migration mode after the first reboot. (The documentation is not clear on this.) Don't soldier on if you don't see the migration mode text like I did, because once you realize that you're not in migration mode after all, it's already too late and you have to start the install all over again.
  • Make sure you make the partition larger than 60 GB. It's in the minimum requirements, but coming from SBS 2003 I was surprised at how large the system partition actually needed to be. (For migration, I don't understand why setup couldn't have just had two radio buttons "Is this a new install or a migration?" instead of this answer file nonsense.)

    I painstakingly checked the SBS2003 system with dcdiag, netdiag, SBS BPA and Exchange BPA. Still the migration wizard has twice failed. Endlessly restoring the AD and rerunning the wizard is not practical. The wizard needs a 'pick up from where it failed last time' option.
