File server & CAL's

Ok,
The following mistake was made due to partially poor
planning and necessity. We required a replacement file
server for our existing SBServer. What we originally
planned was to install SBS on the new system and then
migrate everything to it and then use it as our primary
(retiring the old SBS). Well as you can imagine there were
problems. I had not realized was that two SBServers could
not exist on the same network, this has caused us
considerable pain.

The server will allow itself to exist but it can not be
promoted to a secondary it can also not apparently allow
more than 10 users to connect to it, this presents a major
issue as we do have more than 10 people at any one time
will need to connected to it. We have the correct number
of CAL's for the existing SBS, but the new fileserver will
not allow more than 10 to connect to it (It will also not
allow us to add licenses as it is not a full-fledged SBS
yet). I did find this article (305138) on the knowledge
base but it applies to SP2, and not SP4 so I am unable to
apply the hot fix. (Which I assume has been built into
SP3/4 anyway)

Suggestions?

I have trouble undestanding your post... so sorry if I'm way off base here.

Premise-
You have an SBS2000 server on an existing network and wanted to retire this
box and replace it with a newer SBS2000 box keeping the settings of the
original box.

My suggestion-
See one of the numerous post by Jeff on hardware migration. Like this one:

Hope that helps,

Javier
