SBS to SBS migration

After previous threads/discussions on here I was under the impression that you had to totally change domain names, etc when moving to a new SBS server, but the following blog entry (an official MS blog) seems to point to the contrary

The Official SBS Blog : SBS 2003 to SBS 2008 Migration to a Different Domain Name

Can anyone shed any light on this from a personal experience perspective?

We were discussing migrating a client from SBS 03 to 08 today at work, which is why i'm digging deeper into it.

I've kept the same domain name in most migrations. Just follow the guide: Migrate to Windows Small Business Server 2008 from Windows Small Business Server 2003

You can't do an in-place upgrade of SBS, otherwise everything else is straight forward (and very well documented with the small business resource in mind so most things are spelled out in detail).

I have done a few of these, as astorrs said follow the MS guide and it all should go sweet:)

It works well..
