Hello Simon,
Thank you for your post.
My name is Gary Wang, and it is my pleasure to work with you on this issue!
Please allow me to confirm that my understandings are correct. As I
understand it, the issue is:
You want to know how to join the client to new SBS server without losing
existing profile.
If I have misunderstood your concerns please feel free to let me know.
Suggestion :
==============
I agree with Larry. By the way, beside's Larry's inputs, I would like to
suggest that you to use File and Settings Transfer Wizard for profile
migrate. For more detail, please refer to the following document:

Hope it helps.

| Hi Larry,
| Thanks for the reply. I thought this may have to be the way. It's my
| home server so I only have a few client PCs to do.
| I'm using the outage to go virtual so it's not a bad thing, and should
| allow me to easily test upgrading to SBS 2008 as soon as I get it.
