Existing Server Migration
If you already have a Windows Server domain, you can migrate
the information on your existing server to the new server. Your
existing server is known as your source server, and your new
server is known as your destination server. Windows Small
Business Server (Windows SBS) 2011 Standard Installation
includes an integrated migration experience that helps you
migrate from your current version of Windows SBS. If you
choose to install the server in migration mode, you will be asked
for specific information about your existing installation. Before
you can migrate to the destination server, you will need to have
this information ready.
