Must have done like 20 or 30 of these when they came out.
Also did a lot of migrations from SBS 2003 to SBS 2008 and later to SBS 2011.
It was a nightmare with everything on one Box as its had this automated type migration that migrated from say SBS 2003 to SBS 2008. So you had to migrate Exchange, Domain Controller, Sharepoint etc. all in one go. Then it keeps getting stuck and you had to restart the migration.
The technicians that worked on the SBS servers were always from the lowest cost IT Support companies that these smalls business could afford. So after a few years these server would have so many hacks and miss configuration on them it would take hours (on a Friday evening) to get Exchange and the DC in a state that would allow the migration to go through.
