Windows Server Forum / Small Business Server / SBS 2000 / September 2008Running SBS's SQL server on it's own server
Does anyone out there know if it's possible to purchase SBS 2003 BUT run the SQL server portion of SBS on it's own separate server using the existing SBS licensing? I have been told this is possible but would like some other comments... Purchasing and licensing the individual products incorporated into SBS would be cost prohibitive for our company so purchasing SBS 2003 (we actually want to upgrade from our exisiting SBS 2000 product) would be the way to go for us. However, we would prefer to run the SQL Server portion on it's own server... Thoughts? Thanks, Brad No you can't separate out all the individual components and put on other servers. 2003 R2 does give you expanded CAL rights so that you can use those CALs to access another server with separate SQL licensing. Perhaps you should get SBS 2003 PE with SA which will then give you an upgrade to SBS 2008 PE when released which does have a 2nd server capability. > Does anyone out there know if it's possible to purchase SBS 2003 BUT run > the [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > Thanks, Brad Thanks for the info...
