Hello,
Thank you for your post.
Please note, SBS domain only supports no more than 75 user or device
licenses that access the server that is running SBS. Even if you add a new
Windows Server 2008 domain controller, it will not enable you connect more
than 75 users.
I have read the link you provided. Yes, Small Business Server 2003 R2
Transition Pack product is specially designed to address the growing needs
of small businesses. The SBS 2003 R2 Transition Pack allows you to easily
move up to the standard line of Microsoft server products, while protecting
your initial investment in SBS 2003 R2. On the other hand, it provides more
feasible and compatible licensing policy to satisfy the different
customers' demands.
However, there is no Transition Pack as well as documents available
regarding how to upgrade from SBS 2003 domain currently.
As SBS is an individual product, which is individual from Windows server
products, I strongly recommend you post a new thread in the following SBS
newsgroup if you don't think migration is an ideal resolution.
microsoft.public.windows.server.sbs
By the way, although this newsgroup provides break/fix resolution, we are
happy to provide general information and suggestions on it here and you may
receive suggestions from other partners on this topic here. However, please
know that we are not the best support resource for advisory issues.
For this kind of issue which is likely to be a big project, I also
recommend you contact our CSS advisory service at
http://support.microsoft.com/gp/advisoryservice.
Thanks again for using newsgroup and hope you have a nice day. :)
Sincerely,
Neo Zhu,

| phew that sounds like a bigger project than i imagined. had hoped i could

not

| Another question. we need more than 75 users on our domain fairly quick,
| would adding a 2008 server as a second domain controller allow us to do
that?
