    So the SBS disk 1 is significantly different to the Windows 2003 Standard
    Server disk?

    Any idea what is different?

    The reason I'm asking is that we have ordered a third party service software
    solution to be put on this member server, and we have booked in the
    installation for tomorrow and are flying a person half way across the
    country at our expense to install it. :-) If my 2003 server media doesn't
    arrive today, I have to have a backup plan on how to get a member server
    deployed. I just want to know if it can be done using SBS disk 1.

    Thanks,

    Mark
