Hi, I've got a supplementary question.

So after reading all of your posts thoroughly, I've decided the use of the migration kit/transporter tool would be best.

I was wondering what I would be doing with the database in this case. Our current database (MSDE) is residing on the same server as the 4.1.6 BES, which we will be retiring.

Now, is this going to be just as simple as creating a new database on the new server and using the migration kit to move the old stuff over or will I have to upgarde the old database (for compatability with 5.0.3 and SQL Server Express) and fully move it to the new server?

Also, where can I get my hands on the Migration Kit? So far our provider doesn't seem to know what I'm referring to.
