Windows Server Forum / Windows 2000 / Update / March 2005Any upgrade path from Windows 2000 Pro?
I imagine this has been asked many times before. Is there any upgrade path from Windows 2000 Pro to either Windows 2000 Server or Windows 2003 Server? It looks like 2000 Pro is a dead end and I will have to reinstall all the software again. Is there any hope? Thanks for any tips. > I imagine this has been asked many times before.

Is there any hope? Hi; Is this computer being used as a server or as a workstation or as a standalone? If standalone or workstation, your best upgrade option is to move up to Windows XP Pro; if the current system is a server you can upgrade to Windows Server 2003.

I don't know, Neil. Recommend you ask in the public Windows Server 2003 newsgroup. ( "microsoft.public.windows.server.migration"). Also, if you have the bandwidth to do it, you can download an evaluation version of WS2003 and then run the "winnt32.exe /checkupgradeonly" command from the resulting media to see what your results are.
