Installing Your New Server

your set up steps are slightly different. Follow the instructions  
that apply to your server, and then follow the instructions to  
connect other computers to it.  
01  
• If Windows SBS 2011 Standard came preinstalled on your  
server, follow the instructions for Scenario 1.  
• If Windows SBS 2011 Standard is not installed on your  
server, follow the instructions for Scenario 2.

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.  
02  
If you choose a migration installation, you must thoroughly  
plan the migration and then prepare your source server  
and destination server as described in the information at  
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=193017. After your  
preparations are complete, follow the steps in the wizard to  
migrate to Windows SBS 2011 Standard.  
03  
NOTE: After you prepare the source server for the migration, you  
have 21 days to complete the migration process and shut down the  
source server.
