Points to remember when you want to remove SBS 2008

After you installed a new DC and they are replicating perfect with SBS then you need to do the following:
  1. Move the Data, printers and shares
  2. Change the port forwarding in the FW.
  3. Change the DNS and DHCP to point to the new domain
  4. Remove Exchange 2007
  5. Remove the CA role.
  6. Move the FSMO roles manually. the Schema is most tricky one of them. usually wait for 15 mins before you attempt to move it and do it from the SBS server.
  7. Dcpromo the server and if there is an error to remove the delegation record from the DNS, don't worry this will not stop the dcpromo.
  8. After the server restarted, clean the DNS and Site from the SBS.
  9. The remove the SBS server from the domain and then shut it down.
  10. Restart the other DC.
