Re: Moving SMS Servers Between Domains

Hi Cathy,
I run the setup without make any changes, but the option fo "modify or reset
the current installation" is still disabled. I also tryed running with
different accounts, local administrator, mine, and is exactly the same.
What I was thinking is that the first error that is displaying about the
"different version" maybe is because I installed W2003 and 2 months ago I
installed the W2003 SP1, also the SMS has the SP1 installed and when the SMS
was first installed, those 2 doesn´t exist.

Do you think it this is causing that warning message and is not displaying
the option I want?

What happend if I just "jump" the step 2 and continue with the next?

Thank you very much!
