RE: Migrate SBS 2003 to Server 2003 R2 64x



Dear Peter,

Thanks for posting here.

After viewing your post, I would like to suggest you considering our Small
Business Server 2003 R2 Transition Pack product. It's specially designed to
address the growing needs of small businesses. The SBS 2003 Transition Pack
allows you to easily move up to the standard line of Microsoft server
products, while protecting your initial investment in Windows SBS 2003, as
you approach the 75 user/device limit or require other key scenarios. By
the way, it provides more feasible and compatible licensing policy to
satisfy the different customers' demands.

In addition, in this microsoft.public.windows.server.migration newsgroup,

However, because Windows SBS serial products are special and we also need

more professional and satisfactory service, we would like to suggest that
you consider the following support resources:

1. I would like to recommend Microsoft Advisory Services to design a
migration solution specifically for your environment and requirements.

Microsoft Advisory Services is a remotely-delivered, consultative support
option that adds the element of proactive support, and provides a
comprehensive result beyond the break-fix product maintenance needs. More
information on this service here:

2. For the break-fix issue related to SBS products, please post in the
following newsgroup:

Microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs

There is more qualified pool of respondents who can give you suggestions.
Meanwhile, other partners who visit the newsgroups regularly can either
share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us.

3. For exchange migrate, please post in the below newsgroup:

I appreciate for your understanding.

I hope this helps. Thanks.
