I tried to upgrade my NT4.0 BDC to Windows 2003 Small Business Server
and it immediately complained that I needed to do a clean install.
It's certainly possible that I am "misinformed", but the
"misinformation" is coming from the Microsoft CD.
So explaining this like I am 8 years old, I put the w2k3 SBS CD in
the running, production NT4.0 BDC and do what?
TIA
