SBS 2008 to 2008R2


hello.

first off, posting here because not question sbs sbs-migration, feel fits better in forum, sorry if i'm wrong.

our current state this:

server01 contains sbs 2008 ad, exchange server facing outside world, taking care of our email , such, there's dns, dhcp, wsus, , such, plus database containing bcm.

our company need more domains, needs done move 2008r2 enterprise solution, enterprise because use virtual servers, cost effective.

where we'd go in end this:

server02 has roles server01 had, minus exchange , database, hosted on server03 , server04 respectively. question is: how there?

i'm going nuts reading solution pathways, migration tools, admt, swing migration , that. i'm lost.

i hoping add 2008r2 domain dc, transfer fsmo , other roles install second exchange, move mailboxes, move db new server decommission sbs, , done it. way we'd keep domain is.

my other question if works that, or if need of tools mentioned.

i have heard of "grace period". need consider, or apply in sbs sbs migration?

i realize similar questions have been asked, none seems match scenario level questions answered, , guides people keep pointing far general , unspecific, , said, doesn't of stuff sbs sbs.

my apologies in advance if i'm doing newbie stuff. really need figure out in simplest possible manner, preferably without exploding. thank kindly advice can give
