Migrate SBS2003 with Exchange 2007 Frontend to SBS2008

our organization has 1 sbs 2003 with exchange 2003 and 1 exchange 2007 with
the client access service as frontend server in the dmz.
now we want to migrate to sbs 2008 but that doesn't work.
does anybody know the right migrationpath if there is a exchange 2007
frontend in the domain?

the source-server-preparation tool stops with an error in the sourcetool.log

imo, the one most likely to know is www.sbsmigration.com.

You can send them an email and start a conversation to see if they can
assist. A personal friend, the most knowledgeable one I know about server
migrations, and at a very reasonable price.

And, no, I do not get a commission from them.
