migration, which has gone well. My distributor has really messed up
my order and now the new media is not going to make it in time for me
to scratch and reload it from the new media per the project deadline.
I'd still wait for it, then. Don't use your own media - use the proper
media.
Will I be able to use the install as is and just install the SP1
separately and use the key from the new media to activate?
I have done this before without SP1 involved, I just have not used
any media yet the has SP1 included yet and don't know what the result
will be. I am trying to keep on schedule if possible.

Susan, or anybody the response was short so I am just trying to
clarify.
I have done this before, without SP1 involved.
I loaded up a system with my Microsoft Action Pack - MAP media and
when the cust media arrived I just started the activation and forced
it to use a different key. The caveat is both my MAP media and the
cust media did not have SP1 slipstreamed on it?
The difference now is my MAP media does not have SP1 and the new
media I believe will have SP1 on it when it arrives .
Are you saying I will have trouble doing this with the new sp1 media
or you don't believe it could be done in the first place?
Thanks, your help is appreciated

Which is my concern. If this was just affecting you... but it's
not....it's affecting a client.

There are also keys specific to the media type. But I don't know if the MAP
media and retail media has any binary differences.
Keys for correct media make no distiction to the service pack level. So a
key for Retail SP1 media would work fine with preSP1 Retail.
But again, I don't know about the MAP media vs. the Retail media
differences. If it was my client, I'd wait for the proper media unless a
full disclosure and signed waiver was in place.

That would be kinda useful eh?
It would be nice to plug your license number into a MS page and have them
available for download there...would certainly help me out as well.
The strange thing is that you seem to be able to purchase the pre-SP1
version of SBS for a LOT less than the slipstreamed SP1 version even
though the SP is free....weird.

I ordered the VUP from SBS 2000 slipstreamed with SP1 and it arrived in 3
days so that is definitely out in the channel.

I'm getting the impression that no one has tried this. If I were in
your
position and had to find a workaround before the weekend, I'd try to
find
trial version SBS. At least trial is designed to have a product key
added
in the way you're hoping to do it.
My two comments: I suspect you might have a happier experience with the
slipstreamed SP than installing it afterward, although I hear you that
that
may not be an option. And, the groups are full of posts from people who
have installed product using the "wrong" media and lived to regret it.
To
me, that argues for using trial version or waiting, rather than using
the
action pack version. With action pack, you could end up having issues
with
future upgrades, adding CALs, or who knows what (that's the point -
nobody
knows what the future issues could be).

Remember that, although it's important, a product key does NOT
represent
proof of purchase. Neither does possession of an original set of
CDs/DVDs.
You need to keep the receipt of purchase from your retailer, and if
you've
got a set of CDs/DVD with holograms, with a valid product key sticker
on
them, then who cares what product ID is actually entered on your
server?
In 18 months time you'll probably be running SBS "R2" anyway, and
you'll
need a new licence key for that anyway :-)
IMHO we ought to have better things to do than to give people grief
for
this
kind of stuff.

That's just how Symantec does it now. As long as I have my certificate
number and serial number I can download any version, from v8 through v 10,
and in any language. Very nice. |
