Re: Can we upgrade the OEMSBS2000 to SBS2003 R2

hi Anver,

I forgot to mention, I'd strongly recommend installing ISA, and of course
learn to configure properly and ISA2004 helps make this easier.

Hi Eugene Tan,

Thanks for the reply, but still I need to disconnect all the client pcs(I
mean now client pcs are connected SBS2000, so disconnect from the existing
server and join to new server) - correct?
Also please note that, we have ISP based POP mails, we would like to use
Exchange - only for the internal distribution and the mails direcly will
deliver to the clients pc (local pst file).
We have existing Symantec client security for the clients, and we may add
ISA2004(as part of the SBS2003 premium), If we install the ISA2004 and
this
will also install the ISAclient on the client's pc - do you recommend both
security
Symantec client security and ISA client on client's pc?
Which is a better firewall? - a Hardware firewall(we have pix 506) or
ISA2004? do we need both?

kindly advise

hi Anver,

Sorry didn't see your reply earlier.

For the client PCs: after you complete setting up SBS2k3, you simply
need to join the PCs to the new SBS2k3R2 domain, by following the
instructions on how to connectcomputer. You will do this via IE on
the PC clients and it's straight forward.

If you plan to assign any users as local admins on the PCs, then you'll
need to create these user accounts on the SBS first.

Ok, now understood as OEMSBS2000 and the related licenses cannot be
upgraded
from one box to another box to SBS2003R2.
So we planned as buy new box with sbs2003 R2 and reconfigure all the
client
pcs.
My plan for the client pcs are: disconnect the client pcs from the
current
serverbox and reconfigure the client pc for the newsbs2003box.

any comments for clients pcs?
Please advise

hi Anver,

The info you provide is a bit unclear, but if you are asking a
licensing
question,
the answer is no, you can't transfer an OEM license from one box to
another.

So you can't transfer SBS2k OEM to the new box as the basis to upgrade
to SBS2k3 R2. Even if you upgraded to SBS2k3 on the old box, you
can't
transfer this to another box unless the replacement box has its own
qualifying
license, such as SBS2k3 or another SBS2k.
