Hello,

I have a customer that already uses a Windows Server 2003. Less than 5
clients are accessing it but he wants to have an exchange server + SQL server
for his small business. So I adviced him to buy SBS 2003.

The current configuration is:
HP ML310 Server
AD
File Server
little software (Like UPS Monitor, AVM Ken!)

My question ist plain and easy: can I "downgrade" to SBS Premium by just
running the Setup from SBS Premium? Or what do I have to do in order to
install the SBS Server without starting from the scratch.

Thank you!

Alexander Buschek

BTW I searched for "Server 2003" but none of the results I found were
related to exactly this situation.

Hi Alexander,

SBS 2003 is definitely not a downgrade! It is W 2k3 server plus Exchange
2003 server plus WSS, plus for Premium also ISA 2000 server and SQL 2000
server.

If you now have W2k3 standard, you should be able to run setup from the SBS
CD. You might want to have a look at the release notes for some notes.

The SBS 2003 newsgroup is microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs.
