Windows Server Forum / Small Business Server / SBS 2000 / July 2006Small Business Server 2000 to full product
Hi, I was wondering if anyone has migrated from Windows 2000 Small Business Server to the full product version. I have an active directory domain and have reached the 50 workstation maximum. I do not want to goto SBS 2003 as I will outgrow the 75 limit soon. Please help. Rodney look at sbsmigration.com same principles apply normally you could do this with the Transition Pack for SBS but it is no longer available for SBS 2000  SignatureCris Hanna [SBS-MVP] -------------------------------------- Please do not respond directly to me, but only post in the newsgroup so all can take advantage Hi, I was wondering if anyone has migrated from Windows 2000 Small Business Server to the full product version.

Rodney Thanks Cris, Does this mean I can add a 2000 server to the SBS domain, install AD and then turn off SBS 2000 and seize the FSMO roles ? Is there an article or paper on doing this ?

Are you refering the Standard Version of Windows Server 2000 ??? Because as far as I can remember , SBS 2000 is also a full retaail and Product version .. :) -- Yes, you can bring in a Standard Windows Server 2000 to the SBS Domain - Replicate AD / by running dcpromo - Once completed, reboot. - Seize FSMO Roles to the new Server, Transfer GC Please refer to the KB below : - http://support.microsoft.com/?id=255690 How to view and transfer FSMO roles in the graphical user interface - http://support.microsoft.com/?id=255504 Using Ntdsutil.exe to transfer or seize FSMO roles to a domain controller Jas Signaturejesmin ningthoujam [SBS SME] Thanks Cris, Does this mean I can add a 2000 server to the SBS domain, install AD and then turn off SBS 2000 and seize the FSMO roles ?

The "growth exit route" from SBS2000 was the Migration Pack, but that's no longer available. There is the Transition Pack available for SBS2003, which accomplishes the same result. But obviously, you have to be on SBS2003 to take advantage of it. Your alternative option is to use standard methods to swing your AD domain and anything else you want to keep out of SBS onto new hardware (possibly recycling the SBS hardware in the process). This does mean buying all new licences and CALs from scratch, and discarding your SBS licences. SignatureSteve Foster [SBS MVP] --------------------------------------- MVPs do not work for Microsoft.
