current: physical server
Server 2003
BES 4.1.7 w/MSDE
Exchange 2003 SP2

proposed:VM
Server 2008 R2
BES 5.0.3 w/ MS SQL 2008 Express R2
Exchange 2003 SP2

so basically my plan is to use a migration kit and the transporter tool to do this upgrade. what i dont know is how to get Exchange System Manager on my new Server, it tells me that it is not supported. am i missing something, i think missed something in my research. I know i need to get the cdo.dll on there and thats how its on my old server.

thanks,
Brad
