Windows Server Forum / Small Business Server / SBS 2000 / December 2007Upgrading from SBS 2000 to SBS 2003 Suggestions
Hi there. I have a client who has purchased hardware and software for upgrading our SBS. Does anyone have any overall advice about the upgrade process? Since we are moving to new, more powerful hardware, I think that there might be some issues. I have heard of a "Swing" method.. I went to a site and they have the process for sale. Wondering if that is a good idea or not. Any feedback would be appreciated. S Hi Sean: Worth every penny if you want to preserve all the settings, all the shares, all the unc paths and mapped drives. Keeps the server name, the domain name, all the SIDS. With the MS way you get a new server name. With a fresh install you get all new SIDS and have to re touch everything. -- Larry > Hi there.

I have some features that are not enabled in SBS 2000, that I would like enabled in SBS 2003 such as OWA. Will this be an issue using the SWING method? S No problem. When you finish the swing you have a fully functional SBS 2003 that can be configured for all of its capabilities. Also FYI once you have the final SBS 2003 there is a different newsgroup for posting questions: microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs > On Dec 9, 12:53 pm, "Larry Struckmeyer" <lstruckmeyer(at)mis- > wizards(dot)com> wrote: [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] > > S |
