SBS to Windows 2000 upgrade advice

[tekistry]

Last year I upgraded our 120 user NT4 network to a windows 2000 AD domain and installed exchange 2000 from scratch.
This year I have been asked to go to our office in Slovakia and upgrade the network from SBS 4.5 (NT4) with exchange 5.5 to a Windows 2000 AD domain, and exchange 2000.
There is the one existing server, and two new servers on order, one as the exchange box, other as a file server.

Anyone got any tips / advice, I have no experiance with SBS - all I have heard is bad experiences!
I have got 3 weeks to plan :-(
Thanks
Nick

You'll be creating a new domain from scratch on the new server. You can't migrate a lot from SBS, it was not designed for any scalability whatsover. The only thing you can upgrade from a SBS 4.5 box, is upgrade THAT box to SBS 2000. That's about it.

Check out this article, scroll to the bottom, there are a lot of support links for SBS.
