Doing two things at once

Many of the steps in this process take some time to run through. You can choose to do things in a very singular linear way or you may choose to use the time while downloads are installing and the machine is reconfiguring to either start the installation of the new SBS 2008 server or read more background information on the Microsoft web site at http://www.microsoft.com/sbs/en/us/default.aspx.

If you wish to install the SBS 2008 server, you must jump to the end of this chapter and create the migration answer file before you start installing the SBS 2008 server. Since SBS 2008 will take at least 30 minutes to install and as much as 2 hours for the entire process, it is a potential good use of time only provided you are confident with the process.
