That's awesome news!

I would always recommend using createdb.exe when moving to new hardware because if you just attach the DB on a new SQL/MSDE instance the master database will not get the required entries in the sysmessages table causing some services not to start. So you've done great so far.

Before moving mailboxes to the new Exchange 2003 server I would install the Exchange System Management tools on the BES first. So, remove the 5.5 administrator first then install the ESM(Exchange System Manager) and apply SP2( Exchange 2003 SP2). This will ensure that when you move the mailboxes that you won't have any email, calendar and MAPI resolution issues.

You're on the right track so far.

Let us know how tomorrows upgrade goes.
