migrate

we are going to upgrade server from SBS 2008 to a new hardware server with SBS 2011.

Due to non-experience in Server Migration (eg, answer file), we have decided to choose Clean Install. We have 12 users so that's not too bad.

The most challenge problem is to move over all the emails for each user, some user have 5GB inbox. The one method I know is to login to each user account and export the emails to PST file using Outlook 2007. Then connect to new SBS 2011 and import the PST into new inbox.

Do we have any other better/quicker ways?

Thanks
