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.

You will need to request migration kit from RIM (it free). Also my understanding of the transporter tool is that it is designed to transfer user information between 2 existing databases even if they are different versions (someone correct me if I'm wrong).
